I think I found evidence in Apache logs of a timeout, so I changed this.

I don't know about the Apache version used on the XS, but on a desktop
here the edit was in /etc/apache2/mods-available/reqtimeout.conf and
changed

RequestReadTimeout header=20-40,minrate=500
RequestReadTimeout body=10,minrate=500

to

RequestReadTimeout header=20-40,minrate=50
RequestReadTimeout body=20,minrate=50

(This has consequences for a server available to the general public,
since denial of service attacks become slightly easier.  But on a local
server your risk will be lower.)
