Installed GNOME. GNOME Classic without effects runs Chrome properly. Details:

GNOME: fails to run WebGL Aquarium
GNOME Classic: runs WebGL Aquarium at 20 FPS full-screen
GNOME Classic (No effects): runs WebGL Aquarium at 30 FPS full-screen (this appears to be the maximum this card supports at this resolution)

The problem is almost certainly compiz. It was known in past Ubuntu releases that compiz didn't respect the GLX swap interval, but it looks like the issue has been exacerbated with recent releases of GNOME / Unity.
