And are you actually doing this, or merely introducing a non-existent
scenario?
Even on a raw partition, the database still has to do *something* to
move the drive heads and read the data.
Provide a benchmark with the raw partition, images in DB, compared on
equivalent hardware with a static file system approach, by all means.
I'm sure you'll prove it provides some performance gain.
And it probably has almost nothing to do with any list reader's
real-world scenario.
