Am i correct in assuming that floating point operations would stress these machines even more so, so in other words if the hash computation somehow required lots of floating point calculations the time taken to crack would be much longer?

There aren't any widely used hashes that require floating point computations. Other than that, floating point instructions are usually slower.

  True on a CPU, but on a GPU floating point is as fast, or usually faster.
