How did you determine that it was taking too much memory? What kinds of
files did you try to upload and what happened?

At the moment, this is just standard uploading, and should not be taking
up a lot of memory. It should take up more bandwidth, but that's kind of
the point - to finish more uploads faster.

The only new-ish feature that might take up more memory is the
in-browser preview, but that's the exact same library as Special:Upload,
and there is a maximum size beyond which it won't try to make a preview.
If necessary we can reduce that size. What browser and OS are you using?
