FTP+updating+slow

Problem
FTP functionality in Virtual Weather Station is updating slow and may be resulting in timeouts.

Discussion
The FTP function is treated as a background task to manage CPU useage and prevent hampering updates of weather station communication, graphical displays and other primary tasks. In addition, each image on the Virtual Weather Station desktop is being converted to a jpeg prior to upload, which takes more time on slower comptuers.

Solution
To increase the priority of the FTP functionality, select **FTP | General Settings** from the menubar, select the **Max CPU during FTP** checkbox, and the **FTP Priority** to **Highest**. Note that this will consume as much CPU usage as possible during FTP uploads.
