uploads are slow, i think this is a max execution problem time
problem, as you script works fine and fast for 2-3MB files, tested on
15MB file - /then/ the memory was high, but otherwise pretty small.
2*1024^2 / 30 is about 500kbits/s which is kinda what you expect the
wrong end of ADSL to be - the upper limit for us poor UK'rs
