With my laptop I get:
72fps with no shader;
71-72 with shader.
With my six year old PC I get:
142-149 fps with no shader;
135-147 with shader.
Perhaps it's because, on this laptop, the CPU does all the work anyway and the shader adds an extra, minor, overhead?
Will edit this post when I've got results from my PC.

Wonder why the two sets are so similar on my machines, i.e. shader slightly worse?
The laptop is about 18 months old and has an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200M GFX card (I think), whereas the PC has an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 card.
