Hello,

I had this problem as well. When I first purchased my iPad, I realized that YouTube was loading videos extremely slow. It lasted for about 1-2 weeks, after that everything worked fine. From time to time, YouTube DOES load vides quite slow, but then I wait 1-2 days & the problem's gone.

Do not use iPhone app, goto YouTube from safari and add to desktop when asked. This is fix slow video upload speed, Should be fix soon since is has been a issue on new 4 and ipads.
