True

An option would be to encode them to Base64 on INSERT but if you Index
all of you BLOBS on INSERT really there should be no problem. Besides
150Kb is not a big for a BLOB. Consider 20MB to 100MB with multiple
joins on MSSQL, 64Bit although. Apparently size is based on the maximum
amount of memory the client has. VARBLOB apparently has no limit per
docs. As doing this on MySQL I can not relate to. I can on DB2 and
MSSQL. I can say you can rival the 32Bit MSSQL performance by at least
15 percent. I can only say that I have experiance with raw DB
predictions in Graphing. Edge and Adjacency Modeling on MySQL.

What I see slowing you down is the TQSL and SPROCS. The dll for the md5
I posted earlier will scale to 1000s of inserts at the time. If speed is
really your essence then use RAW Partitions for the DB and RAM. Use the
MySQL Connector or the ODBC or you will hit size limits on INSERT and
SELECT.

Yes, I was informed that a call from a SPROC to "md5()" would do the
trick and take the load of the client. At least that was my intent of
the idea to balance the load. That is if this is client/server.

I do wonder about your memory allocation and disk. It is all about the
DB design. Think about a Genealogy DB. Where do you end design? You
don't. Where does predictions end? They don't.
