Does uploading really cause high server load on a VPS?

I use Rapidleech to upload to file hosts like Fileserve and Hotfile and I also use the remote upload feature of these file hosts by copying direct download links from my server. I usually upload 20 files at a time.

Both cause a ridiculously high server baggage on my VPS. 15-20 simultaneous upload using rapidleech causes 6-7 load. I did a remote upload of 200 files to Fileserve a couple of times and the load reached an insanely high 160 load!! Is this normal? Can't I really upload files this way? Or am I on a faulty VPS?
