That's about the Dalvik implementation. Other comments on that page suggest that it's so inefficient that a difference between float and double argument passing and computation overhead might be lost in that noise.
Hardware floating point operations except division should only take one cycle, for both single and double precision. If VFP requires passing double values in 32-bit register pairs, that might add some overhead, though.
Judging by a google search for "qreal" "float" "arm" this difference causes endless problems. I even found a Fedora build bug related to it. However it's a matter for upstream to fix it. Not something we could carry around only in Fedora IMHO.
I would expect that consistency across Fedora architectures is more important than alignment to upstream.
