Upload Files: Upload status bar includes unpacking of zip file, it should probably only include upload of zip file itself.

Description
This is kind of a UX issue but also a technical one. the upload status bar for a 1000 file zip file does not increment until it unpacks all 1000 files. This takes much longer than uploading the actual zip file, which is tiny. This is a problem because it gives incorrect information and may result in the user aborting the operation, getting confused, etc.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the upload of a large ZIP and trace where the upload status bar is updated versus where ZIP contents are unpacked. Identify the upload-status and unpacking entry points, then verify that progress reflects ZIP transfer separately and that aborting or completion still behaves correctly.
