YouTube is running very slowly, usually causes freezes every few seconds and overall navigation is slow at best. It seems to be specific to YouTube, as viewing the same videos on external websites (Toogles for example) work flawlessly, and is amazingly smooth. I would like to know what the problem may be, and if there is any fix or way around it. My laptop is quite old, but this is the first time YouTube runs this way, and as mentioned above, any other website is working flawlessly.
