As I fear, some people misunderstood Frank's hints, I'd like to clarify:
I know no reason to store blobs in data table with other objects data,
it should be stored in separate table(s).

This does not (significantly) grow database, does not make it
significantly slower and does not have any impact on backup/restore: But
performs ways better, if blob fields are not main data fields.

This "optimization" has completely different impacts than moving blob
data to a different database: Not only that every select has to be
evaluated on runtime by execute statement, it has to be fetched from
"far" destination (with no optimization hints), and there are no means
to keep referential integrity by database design between the two databases.
