At least.
Images and the like can be kept in some static location, such as {document root}/images/, as is suggested below. However, they may also be kept in the "Web Server Resources" group within your project. Either way, the web server will be handling requests for the image, not the WebObjects application, so performance isn't really an issue.
This isn't strictly true - Web Server Resources have to take an extra trip through a WORequestHandler in order to work out where they live when the page is generated, although the actual serving of the resource is handled by the web server. So there is some overhead associated with using Web Server Resources, although it isn't as much as some people may think. With a heavy load in mind, I would try to minimise their use; but for most real world WO apps, I personally don't feel a compelling argument against their use.
