You'll suffer a significant *decrease* in the speed of writing your code
because of having to type (float) everywhere and put letter 'f' after every
number and having to recompile everything 3 times because you forgot to
type (float) and 0.5f and things like that... I used doubles everywhere for
just that reason, my time is more expensive than the computer's... Now clearly
it's going to double your memory burn for big arrays of these things, which is
a significant performance drag, but will it hurt performance otherwise?
Good question. -T.
