That could be used as an alternative to a db-side blob cache, but caching
of some form will be necessary because of the streaming and random access
read() APIs (we don't need/can't realy use write support). We can't
random-access most blobs because they're compressed and/or deltified, so
they have to be expanded/cached before use (but can be done lazily, and
most reads will be a series over the same object, so caching the last-read
blob in memory should make access pretty fast).
