Sorry about the h4x0rz. I'm why we can't have good things.

The usual embedded player doesn't actually start loading the movie until you hit the giant ▶ in the middle, so the only additional page-loading overhead would be the loading of the player and the starting of the Flash runtime.
I don't mind whether we have [youtube] or not, since it takes one click to start the movie and one click on a YouTube link to pop open another window. Extra windows are fine with me, especially since sometimes there's good stuff in the video comments.

That would be a nice touch. I think it would be cool if, if a user has embedded videos turned off, a tag would turn into just flat URL to the video instead of just not displaying anything so that the person could still view the video by clicking the link.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
