I'm getting 15 FPS in Chrome on my Surface Pro.

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?

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.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that WebGL uses the exact same API as ES, including the same stripped down shader language.

It's gorgeous... reminds me of the good old "visualization" days of Winamp and MusicMatch

20 FPS - Chrome - MacBook Air/2011

I'm getting 38 FPS on a 2012 Macbook Air with Chrome. Didn't expect the HD4000/HD3000 difference to be so big.
