Does video length play in when you upload?

Hey everyone!

Just thought I'd throw it out there because it came up in my mind when thinking about my next upload. I've prepared my videos I was planning to upload this week in advance and had two ~5 minute videos and a short and sweet 1-2 minute one to upload.

I've already uploaded one of my longer videos and will upload my shorter video tonight to separate the longer videos with a laugh in between. My question to you is;

Does your video length play a part of when you upload it?

Edit:
The first responses were mentioning Upload times. I understand that longer videos increase the filesize which in return increases the time it takes to upload the video. What I'm asking about is if you prefer to go "Long>Short>Long" or "Long>Long>Short" in any given preference during the week.

The longer the video, the longer the upload time.

Not really, they just make the upload time longer

Cheers for the speedy response but not quite what I was aiming for in terms of a response. I've edited the original post to add a bit more definition to what I was asking but in short I meant uploading longer videos back to back during the week and shorter videos on the weekend or shorter videos during the week if you have them and a longer video on the weekend. Just little preferences like that.
 
At first I didn't think about time at all until enough people finally complained about my videos being too long now I try to keep them relatively short, but if cutting them down is going to take away from the message of the video then everyone's just gotta suck it up and grow an attention span. lol

Now that gave me a good laugh! I did the same as a water-tester. Uploaded a 40 minute round of Battlefield 3 just to see how many people would watch it and how the stats for it would go.
 
We upload twice at day at 6am and 6pm. We try to keep the longer videos at the 6pm time slot so our fans won't have to watch/think for too long in the morning. As for the day of the week, it doesn't seem to matter when long videos are uploaded.

Now that I do like. Because there's nothing worse than waking up to find you want to watch a 10-15 minute (Or longer) video but know you have to get ready for work or whatever the day has planned for you.
