I just ran into the problem of extremely slow uploads in an app I was working on. Told Gemini to work on it, and it tried to get the timing of everything, then tried to optimize the slow parts of the code. After a long time, there might have been some improvements, but the basic problem remained: 5-10 seconds to upload an image from the same machine. Increasing the chunk size fixed the problem immediately.

Even though the other optimizations might have been ok, some of them made things more complicated, so I reverted all of them.
