After posting my question about performance earlier this morning it was
suggested that I also store the jpg's in the database, (thanks Maxim). I did
a little research and got a lot of conflicting information on weather this
is a good idea or not. For example the following url states that you suffer
a 30% performance hit by doing it this way.

Is anyone out there running a website that stores images as binary data in
MySql that could comment on this?
Any and all comments are welcome.
