Video player stalls browser

I'm on a mac using Safari. All pages on HN stall the browser until the videos load. It's not a matter of bandwidth and downloading the page; it's the player and its playlist that holds everything up. I am experiencing major CPU-use spike, spinning wheel, frozen page. It resolves itself once the videos load, but that takes a good 30 seconds.

Makes the site unusable.

I've seen so much of this stupid color wheel that I want to put my foot through the monitor. Seriously p*ssing me off.

Better now. It looks like there aren't as many videos loading in the player. No problems now.
