I have both:
- Nexus 7 tablet with NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad Core processor running Android 4.3 and has 1 GB of memory.
- Toshiba Satellite laptop with AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual-Core QL-60 × 2 processor running Ubuntu 12.04 and has 2.7 GB of memory.

They are both connected to the same wi-fi connection. The laptop has excellent response when I am playing youtube videos. The Nexus 7 loads very slowly and plays back for about 3 seconds before buffering again.

What is causing the Nexus 7 to load youtube videos so slowly?

As you mentioned, I cleared the cache on the Chrome browser on the Nexus 7. This made the youtube videos a little better/load faster, but not by much. Made little difference, but the videos are still very very slow.
