In my opinion, handling the uploaded file data in memory and variables is a terribly bad idea, especially if the files are big. I don't want to increase the swap size by one gigabyte just so that I could upload 500MB files. I recommend writing or finding a separate program with C/C++ to receive the files and handle them, and it then submit forward to php (without the files).
