For a while, I watched YouTube videos on my iBook - it's newer and faster than my QuickSilver.

Then I discovered a trick to watching YouTube on a slower Mac - pause the video the moment it starts playing, and wait for the entire video to finish downloading. I notice download typically happens in spurts, which seems to correspond to the choppy performance.

Once the download completes, the video is watchable (although not nearly as smooth as QuickTime).
