As the name suggests, when you set UploadToDirectory=1 the client does
not upload to the server.  Instead it uploads to the directory
specified in UploadTargetDirectory.  This should point to the
uploadable directory of a dedicated client
($WorkingDirectory/uploadable/) which handles the uploading for all
rendering clients (running as './tilesGen.pl upload_loop').

The idea behind this is that not a handful of clients are competing
for a narrow upload bandwidth.

Now, the client is supposed to stop rendering when the upload
directory contains more than UploadToDirectoryMaxQueue files.  In
reality it only does not upload its rendered job.  This means when you
restart the client it will render one job and then sit and wait for
the file count in the upload directory to go down.

Do you have UploadToDirectoryMaxQueue set to a high number or do you
restart the client very often?
