For a media rich site, it's super common to move the images (or other large-size files) off to a different server, with the hard drives and OS tuned for large files. (Or for small files, if they are, say, email bodies or somesuch.) This works especially well for content that is acquired by the visitor through a separate HTTP request anyway.
