How significant is the cost to heat/cool the extra volume created by vaulted &
cathedral ceilings? Of course it would vary by size, but is the extra volume a
big cost once it's brought to temperature the first time?

Define significant.

Depends on how you're heating the building. It's less of a factor
with in floor radiant than FHA. How much less is an engineer's
question.

Don't know the ratios, but more volume=more energy consumed
Does it cost more to heat Carnegie Hall or a 3 bed house?

What's your definition of "big difference"?
