Bug description:
  rtm build 224 on krillin
  on fast wifi connection

  - Go to videos scope
  - Choose the first YouTube video
  - Play it in YouTube and maximize the screen

  Expected results:
  - The video should play back smoothly

  Actual results:
  - The video pauses frequently and stutters
  - The progress bar shows it's not a buffering issue as most of the video has been downloaded already

  This is new. Wondering if it could be related to the YouTube user-
  agent string

  Note: oxide-renderer process is using 180% CPU according to top when
  the video is being played back
