It takes almost no work for an HTTP server to serve an image. It takes a LOT of work for an HTTP server to serve a CFM file that pulls an image out of a database, converts it to some friendly format and uses cfcontent to push it out. A LOT OF WORK.
There are certainly cases where storing an image in the database isn't a bad thing. SERVING it on the fly from the database would be, though. If I wanted to store the actual iamges in the DB, I'd still store them out on the file system as well.
