upload takes about twice as long, plus the time required to flatten the file.

Click the Refresh button to update the Assets pane.
Final Cut Server suggests that you flatten reference files before uploading, which creates
self-contained versions of the files. Depending on your hardware and network setup,
having Final Cut Server flatten a file may take longer than creating a self-contained file
before uploading. If you wish to flatten before upload, see “Exporting a QuickTime Movie
as Self-Contained” in the
Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro 7 Quick-Reference
Guide
