Browser Source Choppy with Streaming Video

I am using a browser source to display some streaming video. I find that it displays my webcam footage without issue, but the browser source displays at about 1 frame every 3-4 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this with the browser source on MAC OSX?

Here is the log file... https://obsproject.com/logs/UcmwTY9Kg99nRvf_

I am having the same trouble, streaming some test video from Youtube in the browser source
As an example, I have http://www.youtube.com/embed/Iz5cK-FVChg?autoplay=1&start=170&rel=0&modestbranding=1&fs=1&controls=0 as the browser source, which shows a 20 second countdown. It shows a few bursts of frames from around 20 to 16 then freezes all the way. Audio continues uninterrupted.

Playing the same video in a browser works normally with countdown video and audio from 20 to 0

Other browser source settings are defaults, except 'Refresh browser when scene becomes active' to start the timer playing.

Hope someone can help?

A couple of extra notes that may be relevant:
Hardware is Lenovo Thinkpad T410
CPU usage is around 15%
Browser Source hardware acceleration is off (otherwise it's completely blank with audio only)
If I 'interact' with the browser, the video plays normally while the Youtube controls are visible, when they disappear it only updates every few seconds to a minute. The mouse doesn't need to be moving, leaving it stationary hovering over the video timeline at the bottom is sufficient.

Also, the same behaviour is seen in the normal player (not the embedded one noted above), as long as there is active interaction it progresses. On the full page player, the advert preceding the video plays without any issues.
