I suspect that's not browser related in and of itself.

Although YouTube is switching to HTML5 a LOT of YouTube vids still run in Flash. Flash is notorious for issues with GPU acceleration. I turn it off on all my PCs and my client's PCs.

DO THIS IN EACH BROWSER YOU USE: Run a flash video, right click on the video and select "Settings". Uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration". Click "Close".

I use this Flash Example Video since it's sometimes hard to find an actual flash video: http://www.dhs.state.il.us/accessibilit ... video.html

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

It might be totally subjective, but FireFox does seem to be snappier with this version (running 64bit version).
