I remember from observations that one of the biggest problems in the
file upload page (esp with multiple files) is that people are actually
not able to find the 'Next' button because it is below the fold and
sometimes even beyond the right side of the page...

Might be something to check with measuring. The other case we had
there is that people do find the next button, but then after pressing
it, the script crashes or it became super slow. So a two step
measuring might be worthwhile there.
