Now, if we were talking restaurant city... that I can believe. But a video on youtube at low quality?

Sigh... does it consistently do this? or is it some random spike?
Even on a mac, I really don't think that it should do that. (Sorta want powermac to confirm this)

At least in my findings, it's consistent, and much more severe on less powerful systems. Just a moment ago I tested the same exact video on my single-core 2.1Ghz PowerPC G5 iMac, and processor usage wavered up and down between 70% and 85%. In cases when viewing 480p or higher video, skipping in the video playback is not uncommon because the processor is so inundated.
When not weighed down by Flash, the system can handle well-encoded 720p material just fine.

It's simple. Click the "Join the HTML5 Beta" link, and all their videos will use HTML5. Click again to go back.
