Twice as many floats vectorize per operation as doubles. Thus it goes twice as fast. How much more evidence do you require?

Personally I do not need any -- I have to use double for precision needs. Matrices are just to big and calculation paths too long.
Sometimes I wish I had a 16-byte-double Cray...

long double on x86-64 is 16 bytes, if you _really_ feel the need for it. long double on IA32 is 12 bytes.
