the payload will be much higher.

for two fields, instead of :

    f1=value1&f2=value2

the payload will look like:

    -----------------------------7d44bc1306d0
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="f1"

    value1

    -----------------------------7d44bc1306d0
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="f2"

    value2
    -----------------------------7d44bc1306d0

as the number of fields goes up, the more the cost.
