If this is really true, and not just your subjective impression - that is, if you have tested it many times and at different times of day - then the reason may be RAM. The YouTube page is a lot more complex than this (or any) discussion forum, so it would use more RAM. But, if you are running that close to the limit, you should really get a lot more RAM, or a new PC if yours is very old. The difference caused by the more complex YouTube page should not be enough for you to notice a performance problem.
