Hi Adrian

I had been having the same problem with stuttering Youtube videos.
This Apple Support Discussion gave the solution that worked for me  
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3729955?start=0&tstart=0

Go to  Safari>Reset Safariā€¦ tick all boxes and click Reset. This did the trick 
for me, the Youtube videos now play smoothly.
Worth a try!

Cheers
Jane
