You're not going to power something the scale of Google Image Search out of that but you almost certainly aren't trying to do that anyway.

Of course, but from Ben's points below, I imagine even a slight growth in traffic could topple the system with embedded images.

then you might be better off storing them on a distributed filesystem like Mongo's GridFS, or in someone's cloud.

Yep. Thanks.
