Is Google Having Problems Delivering YouTube Videos?

Every since the Google acquisition, many times when I go to play video clips on YouTube they don’t load as fast as they use to or they have to stop half-way through to re-buffer. For me, this is happening more and more. Yesterday, it took nearly 2 minutes for a 30 second video to start to play and it was a video that had only been viewed 6 times. There has been a lot of speculation on how Google was going to
integrate YouTube’s videos into the Google delivery network and I have
to believe that they are clearly having some performance issues.Has anyone else seen a drop in performance in the playback of videos since the acquisition?
