I'm great at everything PHP and MySQL except how to best develop photo galleries for my clients. To date, I have implemented 7 custom galleries and they're all different. I've been trying to find some information on BLOB vs File System performance, lately, and I've been coming up dry. Most people seem to talk about the "age-old debate" but nobody comments on the speed. I'm so glad you've cleared this one up for me! Although, could I trouble you for a more detailed write-up? I am very interested in the finer details of why file system out-performs BLOB. I only recently got into web-based development using MySQL.
