float vs decimal - computation time

I have heard that using floats in calculated fields are much faster than
using decimals. Is this true? What is the role of the floating-point
processor in these computations?

I apologize. I meant to follow-up my earlier post and I realize that it was
both unclear and unnecessary to repost. I have found what I was looking for.
Thank you very much for your help.
