For performance improvements the usual first step is figuring out
_where_ the time is spent, so profiling (which is a very hard task
on itself).

Some times we've used the wiki for profiling reports, might be a good
idea doing the same for youtube in the specific. Seek for Profiling
on wiki.gnashdev.org

Consider joining the #gnash channel of freenode IRC network.
You'll find developers and power users in there.

See you soon !
