Title: Improve performance when Rackspace Cloudfiles are enabled.

This proposed change should dramatically improve the performance of sites (like Crowdmap) that enable Rackspace Cloudfiles (CDN).

1. It moves the gradual media uploader into the scheduler, instead of having it being called on every pageview.
2. It doesn't authenticate with Cloudfiles on every connection, just when it needs to.

Not going to merge this until @brianherbert gets a look at it and OKs it, as he is far more familiar with this section of the code than I am.
