I've been searching around on Google to see if anyone else has this problem but couldn't find anything at all.

When I open a YouTube video (it searches and gets the artwork/preview thing) but when I come to playing it, it doesn't load and when it does it is extremely slow and just stops.
 
I have the exact same issue.
Actually it's getting worse with time. It used to be that only large videos would stall. Now almost all videos stall or load at very very low speeds.
In my computer (PBG4 1G) they load almost instantly with my 8mbps dsl.
Basically it's come to the point where youtube is unusable on apple tv. It was one of the best features while it worked.
This is actually a known issue amongst users but one that apple has not addressed with any of the updates.
