I was doing some tests with large image files loaded into 3M SPIFFS. Because of how long it took I took a slightly different route. I would load a sketch that supported OTA uploads. I would then do the SPIFFS upload through the OTA connection. That was a lot faster than serial. But that was when I was stuck using 115200 baud for serial connections.
