Why can my PC run Skyrim at 80fps but lags the first time it opens a gif?

Your browser begins playing the GIF before it's fully downloaded, much like you can see parts of a static image before the whole thing is finished downloading, so the first loop may be laggy, but the rest will run smoothly since it has finished downloading and is now playing from disk. It isn't a matter of your local resources -- if you can get 80 FPS on Skyrim, you can certainly handle a GIF, so that would be an effect based in the network connection.
