Start uploading images while previous one is "crunching"

Why not?

This would significantly reduce the upload time - I'd estimate that on average it would reduce it by 50-60% on my slow connection uploading smallish jpegs.

I think this infact is a batch so there currently is no way to make it multi-threaded.

Replying to hakre:

Not sure I understand. Are you saying this is a problem with SWFUpload rather then WordPress?

One possibility would be to remove the "crunching" notice altogether and do it in the background - I don't think anything which you can edit from the frontend actually changes during crunching, does it?

I just wanted to say that this might be very hard to implement because of the current design. I just got in contact with the JS-side of the uploader due to #6883. I must admit that I have no idea how crunching is queued / triggered.

[hakre]

I now know how it is triggered. It might be possible to just give it a try to do the next upload w/o waiting for the crunch to finish.
