       @amoroso Is this a Xerox PARC thing? Wow, what didn't they invent that Apple and Microsoft would come along and later steal?

       @matthew @tg9541 I'm going to guess the video card is doing a lot of heavy lifting on the web video playback decoding. I've run modern Youtube on a Core 2 Duo laptop with Intel graphics and it struggles above 480p unless I rip the video with yt-dlp and play it in vlc.

       @matthew @tg9541 I should reiterate that the integrated graphics in Intel chips of the Core 2 era were pretty crappy even for the time. Even throwing in a cheap AMD or Nvidia graphics card like the customer's HD 4670 will drastically improve both 2d and 3d graphics performance and make a difference in how snappy your OS and apps feel.
