QuickTime + Perian = Low CPU FLV play
Here is some idea practically to keep CPU in a low % like 8% - 17% to play Youtube video or any other flash video online.
1. Perian -- You can get it from here http://perian.org/
This is a multi-video-plugins for Quicktime to allow Quicktime to play many format of videos including FLV flash format. (I think a lot of guys already know this )
2. Go to YouTube and start play video
3. Meanwhile, open Activity window by "Option+Command+A" and looking for something like MB size link with increasing number
4. Copy & Past that link to Quicktime, then you good to go to enjoy video with Low Low CPU usage, means to keep your MBP cool.
-------------------------------------
Hope this will help you a little bit.

P.S. This method will do the trick, but just a little bit NOT Simple way.
As a Apple guy, simple is beauty. So I am still looking for a far far simple way to do this job. I'll keep updating this soon, if by any lucky.
P.P.S. Anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thank you.
