Right but it's a waste of processor time to store an image if you have to
share your db in VHost environment.  People will get pissed when 4 meg
images start poping up in your database :)  

I just don't see how image data is relational or required for phpSlash to 
function (you're not pulling pickled data from the blob), therefore IMHO,
it doesn't belong (square hole -> round peg solution)  of course that's my
opnion.  

If you want fast image serving get a Fiber Channel Closet and be done
with it ;)
