Comment (by tellyworth):

 I'm not sure how common it is, but in my testing a good part of the
 'Crunching' time is actually the final part of the file upload.  It seems
 that swfupload triggers the 100% progress event (which is what causes
 Crunching to be displayed) when it begins sending the final chunk of the
 upload, rather than when it finishes sending it.  I don't know of a
 solution to this.

 In other words, the time spent creating thumbnails is only a fraction of
 the Crunching time, and might be negligible.  Some basic logging with
 microtime() in async-upload.php would confirm it.

 If it turns out thumbnail creation does take a significant amount of time,
 then yes, it should be done asynchronously.
