I saw the mention of floats and doubles in this thread. We have found using doubles only will give you a significat performance increase, esp across architechtures, and you can ignore rounding issues between floating pt types.
I agree that it's better to use doubles throughout, as we do in the rest of the code. I don't think using floats will buy us memory savings worth speaking about, while the cost in code maintainability and perhaps, as Craig suggests, even performance may be significant.
