Chrome using more than 100% CPU on YouTube?

- Edit /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf
-
Add the following line:
options drm_kms_helper poll=N
- Restart and problems are gone (at least for me with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

I'am new to Ubuntu and I'am trying the 14.04 LTS version.
When I am seeing any video on Chrome, my computer suddenly gets real slow, so I opened Chrome's task manager...
Why is this happening?
EDIT: I am using the HTML5 player
EDIT 2:
lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'
output:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 181b Kernel driver in use: i915 -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M] (rev ff) 08:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
