is this normal, that the upload "sending date to OctoPrint" slow is? im uploading a gcode with 6,2 MB and it take over 10 minutes.

If you can upload your gcode somewhere, I can test it on my hardware.

Took 47 seconds on an ESP8266 with WirelessPrinting bad8e51, Cura 4.5, the latest OctoPrint plugin for Cura, and a microSD card. I think this is about what you can expect from this type of hardware.

You can also test like this, without Cura:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ time curl -F "file=@/home/ubuntu/Downloads/CE2_03_Big_LED_Lampe_esp.gcode" -F "print=true" 192.168.0.24/api/files/local
{
  "files": {
    "local": {
      "name": "CE2_03_Big_LED_Lampe_esp.gcode",
      "origin": "local"
    }
  },
  "done": true
}
real    0m45.146s
user    0m0.023s
sys 0m0.031s

45 seconds.

Testing on another machine: Using the precompiled WirelessPrinting c34dd15 from the GitHub Releases page, without microSD card, takes forever because the SPIFFS area on the ESP8266 is not large enough for this file to work without an SD card.

Same machine with an old 8 GB SD card (probably not a fast one): 57 seconds.

ok this is my Problem. I need a SD-card shield. Who can read is clearly at an advantage :D
