See the part on this page called 'iTunes HD Playback Efficiency.'

I'm betting that HTML 5 Youtube on Safari is taking advantage of this enhancement as well.
And as we all know, Flash was already less efficient than other video playback methods even before this. I'm sure this just widens the gap even more.

The issues you're describing belong to Chrome, and not Flash.
Beginning in May 2014, Chrome switched to using HTML5 for YouTube by default. Flash is still included, but it is not meant to be active when on YouTube. You shouldn't be seeing Flash on YouTube at all if you're on Chrome.
As much as I love Chrome, it's just not efficiently optimized especially on portables when it comes to battery life.
