replace photo and suggestion and rant

Okay I received an order for something I shot last June, 350+ photos ordered.
I have proofing on and on the sale detail page it gives me the option to replace the photo. When I click there it gives me the browse photo / replace page and I browse to the photo and click replace. It started uploading (1800K or so in this case) after some time the page goes white, the url at the top reads ..
http://upload.smugmug.com/photos/replace.mg
and the browser reads done at the bottom.
Something is not right, I have replaced other photos before. Dont remember seeing a blank page.
Okay so I have no choice but to back browse because this page contains no data. So I go back and after waiting for 350+ photos thumbs to load in the sales page again, the new image is not there.
I goto the gallery and still same old image is there. I try to "replace" the photo in the gallery (not from the sales page) and I get the same thing. White blank page after a few minutes of uploading.
Some info:
Browser Firefox
Gallery was password protected and to save myself the time of going through my old DVD backups I changed the password, and made the originals available for viewing so I could download them work them and replace.
A Question I have also about proofing: does it matter if you replace the photo in the sales page or in gallery page? because the sale page loads awfully slow when there is more then say 20 photos.
Things I see that could be improved:
Let you always get originals as long as your logged in as the owner, so you don't have to flip around your galleries to get at them.
Paginate the sales detail pages. As stated above any sale that has more then 20 or so photos takes a year and a day to load + slows the browser to a crawl.
Gallery arrangement tools. Copy / Move via drag and drop.
More speed, I know Ive complained about this before, and it always seems to run full speed for everyone else, sorry but "it looks good from here" does not help me much.
My smugmug pages crawl on every connection I have tried it on. (5 different connections / locations / providers). When showing a client your stuff this is crucial. I am considering making a t-shirt that says "waiting for gkp.smugmug.com..." I have seen load times of over a minute when opening the main gallery page. Thats over 60 seconds of seeing the waiting for gkp.smugmug.com.. on the browser window. Also note I have no problems loading any other websites. I am on DSL and have run many speed tests from various servers (speakeasy.net has a nice set of tests) and get the advertised speeds on my DSL.

Oh man I would love to see this implemented. Why should we have to change our gallery customization just so that we who own the account can download a picture? This has bugged me for a long time.
As for the reupload tool I've seen that page before which has made me leary about using the reupload tool unless the image really needs some fixin'

My other question still remains. Does it matter for the order where I replace the photo from? I would like to jot down the filenames of the ones I want to replace and replace them in the gallery (which is paginated) as opposed to the slow "load the whole order" sales detail page.
