File Upload Performance: Batch uploading larger image files in numbers causes browser instability/freezing, due to PrimeFaces image processing.

Reported by a user, see RT 226297

User had created 10 datasets and uploaded 215 files, mostly PDFs and images, ranging in size from 10MB to 280MB.

They experienced their UI freezing and we received a server critical warning but it recovered.

We recommended for now that they upload fewer files at one time as a temporary workaround.

@pameyer and I will be working support for uploading largish files (up to maybe 60 GB?) as part of https://hms.harvard.edu/news/dropbox-structural-biologists and I'll try to remember to report back here on any findings. It sounds like the problem reported here has more to do with many large files at once.
