Well, I hope Sam will find this info useful (myself is not a dev for adding  this to webpage/locally):

https://gist.github.com/cferdinandi/9044694
"simple method to stop YouTube, Vimeo, and HTML5 videos from playing."

https://gomakethings.com/stopping-youtube-vimeo-and-html5-videos-with-javascript/
basically the same but without comments. sometimes comments useful .....

/**
   * Stop an iframe or HTML5 <video> from playing
   * @param  {Element} element The element that contains the video
   */
  var stopVideo = function ( element ) {
          var iframe = element.querySelector( 'iframe');
          var video = element.querySelector( 'video' );
          if ( iframe ) {
                  var iframeSrc = iframe.src;
                  iframe.src = iframeSrc;
          }
          if ( video ) {
                  video.pause();
          }
  };

Good idea, but how can I call the function on click to pause all iframe > videos on the page (without ID of every iframe) ?

@Luminicus This outta do it.
/**
 * Stop all iframes or HTML5 <video>'s from playing
 */
var stopVideos = function () {
        var videos = document.querySelectorAll('iframe, video');
        Array.prototype.forEach.call(videos, function (video) {
                if (video.tagName.toLowerCase() === 'video') {
                        video.pause();
                } else {
                        var src = video.src;
                        video.src = src;
                }
        });
};

yes, I also have layers.acceleration.force-enabled enabled in Seamonkey, but this only accelerates in-browser compositing, IIRC

Yeah, 200%+ of CPU according to top :}

Video in avc1 (h264), so may be Chrome (and/or Firefox on windows?) actually use 
hw acceleration for *decoding* it, so effect not very notieceable ....
