The download progress bar has no timeout between requests. The dojo progress bar which is shown during the download of an ucc image asks for a progress update as soon as as it got an answers from the previous progress update. The server answers without any timeout. That results in a high load on both the client and the server. How to reproduce: Download an ucc image and look at the number of request against: uccsetup/progress (around 4000 on my system)
