I have no idea, as that will depend upon what 'settings' you have the 
yt javascript player using.

You'd have to make a pick yourself.  Most likely it is playing a video 
that is equal or smaller in pixel resolution to your screen, and one 
for which the browser has a decoder to play, beyond that, no way to 
know.

You'd just pick something reasonable from the list, download it, and 
play it with a native player (which will generally *always* beat the yt 
JS player in overall usability, and likely be much less resource 
intensive as well).
