The difference caused by the more complex YouTube page should not be enough for you to notice a performance problem.

Oh yeh, that makes sense. Other reasons/factors too...like if I'm running any other programs at the same time. Low virtual memory has come up. Yes, my PC is old (2003)and I'm holding on pretty good without any hardware upgrades...but as you know it's just a matter of time!
There's so much more running on a YouTube page than just the one video I'm loading/viewing...so I really do think that has a lot to do with it though. A good test I think, perhaps I'll email myself a link to whatever video I want to view and see if that nakes any difference.
Always open to suggestions/advice here!
