Single precision float on units that have an FPU is apparently one cycle.

How much of an overhead are doubles?

Simple math perhaps, the divide isn't single cycle.

Would depend on the operation, and the vendor of the software library being used. Benchmark your computation. Multiply with reciprocals rather than divide where you can.
