I wonder if MultiUpload uses the same hooks as the regular Upload does... We should maybe get someone from Engineering to do some testing; have MediaWiki output the SQL timings for each method or something?
Intuitively, I would expect MultiUpload to be a faster process (not speaking about the actual mouse-click speed), since the some of the data transfer overhead would be eliminated. As an aside, I agree 10 is a solid number. After a certain point, php and web server timeouts would come into play...
