We are using the Informix Optical extension. It allows you to store images in a blob column which resides on Optical. You can manipulate any other columns of the table without incurring hits due to the blob.
We are just in the process of implementation and so cannot comment on the long term performance.
Your other option would be to use a database as your index repository and use an imaging system such as FileNet to store the objects.
