Perhaps I'm exaggerating things a bit.

SQL databases, in general, are not going to be the best choice for  
bulk storage of large blobs of binary data. It's simply not how they  
are optimized.

Specifically for Ansel; Let's say you upload a (potentially very  
large) original image - that image is stored. It's possible that Ansel  
will generate, and store, up to about half a dozen other images for  
this original image for thumbnails of different sizes and styles,  
screen-sized images, "stacked" images etc... Granted, these are all  
much smaller than the original but it still increases the storage  
space required for each image. Of course, YMMV.
