Obviously there is something wrong with your aplication.
Instead of thinking whether to store images inside or outside of database,
you should fix it first. (and it seem your database will be very small,
I stored much more data in blobs without any problems)

How is you client written ? (IBX,IBO,PHP,...)
Are you sure your blobs are not automagically conveted to bitmaps ?
You can use some UDF to find out the size of all blobs
in your table.
