Since it's not possible to split a file upload into multiple chunks, the memory usage while uploading files to the browser increases according to the size of the file (e.g. 1GB of file size -> 1GB of RAM used).
Since this limits our users from uploading files that are bigger than the remaining memory through WebUI, this is probably important for most users.
As discussed, a better alternative to HTTP uploads would be to use RPC.
