60fps (cap I think) on Firefox 25 on i5 desktop.
It's GPU-, not CPU bound.
Yeah I assumed this when I noticed even the Retina laptops with the i7s weren't doing as well. I have an Nvidia GTX 560 Ti which must be doing most of the work.

45 FPS: Chrome on 2012 Macbook Pro. Looks fantastic.
51 FPS on new Macbook Pro Retina
It's gorgeous... reminds me of the good old "visualization" days of Winamp and MusicMatch
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that WebGL uses the exact same API as ES, including the same stripped down shader language.

20 FPS - Chrome - MacBook Air/2011
It uses OpenGL ES it seems, doesn't work in IE 11.
Edit: It would be interesting to know if this would perform better using WebGL and running it in IE 11, anyone has any thoughts on that?
