Not usually, but occasionally I have lots of tabs (20 or so) open on Chrome. I tried what you said just now, with a HD video playing in one tab, and ran Calibre along with its editor at the same time. No problems. I don't have a high-end laptop, i5 processor and 4 GB RAM. True, I probably don't multitask as much as you, or use so many memory-intensive programs, but still, your problems with Windows 8.1 don't sound normal with those specs.
