So what IS the official line on Flash Aversion? Resource Eating? Taking away from QuickTime?

I tried a random YouTube video on my 667 MHz TiBook:

Playback on YouTube is jerky. Playback with QuickTime Player or Miro is perfect. This is not the best video as a lot of it is static and there are no faces to check voice sync, but it still proves the point

So I'm more curious now after doing some testing. That Flash video is FLV1. If you open it up in QT you get the message:

The document “video.flv” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.

So unless there's something I'm missing, you weren't comparing the same videos.

What res do you have the YouTube video set to when it's playing back in the browser?
