Video handle really varies depending on how it was encoded and whether there is a hardware decoder available or not. YouTube is highly tuned to work well with Chrome and vis versa.

On my Macbook, bizarrely, it's Safari that freaks out when watching videos at 2x speed, whereas Firefox handles them fine.
