Yes it makes perfect sense to have an FPU. But it is only used if; 1. the program has been programmed to use it 2. there are floating point maths (integer maths still runs on the main processor).
Calamus makes great use of the FPU if available, lame/bladeenc mp3 encoders as well. Raytracer applications make good use of it (Inshape, Neon, POV..) and some demos want an FPU (not for speeds sake, but for accuracy/comfortable programming).
