-**Queue processing workflow:**
+**Queue processing workflow (v2.3.0+ concurrent processing):**
 1. User action (add/edit/delete) → `PendingUpload` created with `UploadState.pending`
 2. Immediate visual feedback (cache updated with temp markers)
-3. Background uploader processes queue when online:
+3. Background uploader starts new uploads every 5 seconds (configurable via `kUploadQueueProcessingInterval`):
+   - **Concurrency limit**: Maximum 5 uploads processing simultaneously (`kMaxConcurrentUploads`)
+   - **Individual lifecycles**: Each upload processes through all three stages independently
+   - **Timer role**: Only used to start new pending uploads, not control stage progression
+4. Each upload processes through stages without waiting for other uploads:
    - **Pending** → Create changeset → **CreatingChangeset** → **Uploading**
    - **Uploading** → Upload node → **ClosingChangeset** 
    - **ClosingChangeset** → Close changeset → **Complete**

+**Performance improvement (v2.3.0):**
+- **Before**: Sequential processing with 10-second delays between each stage of each upload
+- **After**: Concurrent processing with uploads completing in 10-30 seconds regardless of queue size
+- **User benefit**: 3-5x faster upload processing for users with good internet connections
 
 **Why three explicit stages:**
 The previous implementation conflated changeset creation + node operation as one step, making error handling unclear. The new approach:
