YouTube's supposed to be fun and easy to use; people want to visit the site and, in short order, view all sorts of interesting clips. Making things load more quickly is a solid goal, then, and Google's pursuing it with the launch of a new project called "Feather."

It achieves this by severely limiting the features available to the viewer and making use of advanced web techniques for reducing the total amount of bytes downloaded by the browser."By Google Launches Site Performance Feature > Google Announces SPDY Application-Layer Protocol
