Would targetFrameRate affect an upload?

I have a manager app that uploads files to our server - it also launches two other apps. When I launch one of those other apps I set the targetFrameRate of the manager to 3fps and then set it back to 60 when the other app's process exits. Would that affect an upload in progress? I've gotten a couple server errors and sounds like something was uploading and got interrupted. Just trying to figure out how.
Thanks.

 

If whatever you're using to do the actual upload is dependent on the Update loop or otherwise frame rate dependent, then I suppose if would affect the upload.
