    Powder Toy is a very CPU intensive game, there's not much that can be done about lag. What do you mean by scrolling around the menu?

    try tpt.setfpscap(something smaller than your current fps), and if you don't want to type that every time, put it in a file called autorun.lua next to the tpt exe. This will make tpt use a little less cpu and then you can watch videos without lag (probably). It will still always use 100% cpu when in an interface like the online browser, unless you use the latest beta (tpt++) or my mod (fps limiting there is a little glitchy), where it should use almost 0% cpu.
    You could also try using task manager and giving tpt less priority, so that it's less important than other programs and only uses whatever cpu is left after your video loads/plays.

    I used to have the same problem because I'd always want to listen to music on youtube while running tpt, and the music was so laggy I heard it like every other 10 seconds. It's possible that switching web browsers could help. I've since switched to a lesser-known web browser that's called Maxthon (I used google chrome before). With it, I'm able to listen to my music and run tpt at the same time with no/minimal lag. I haven't had any upgrade to my computer at all, so switching web browsers might work, but I make no promises.
