Probably because from the looks of it, you're using very old hardware that can barely play HTML 5 video. You could probably make a few memory optimisations somehow but... I don't think it'd achieve much.
How about playing Youtube vids on VLC player to see if it's any better?
Install VLC media player.
Go to Youtube and select a vid.
Copy the URL of the vid from your browser address bar (should be something like 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N...')
Open VLC and select Media → Open Location from clipboard, and paste the URL you copied previously.
VLC will now play the Youtube vid.
You can now see if the vid plays better than html5 or Flash.
With VLC you have options like fast forward and even record.
