This indicates that floats are slightly faster than doubles: http://www.herongyang.com/cs_b/performance.html

In general, any time you do a comparison on performance, you should take into account any special cases, like does using one type require additional conversions or data massaging? Those add up and can belie generic benchmarks like this.
