Obviously a man who has never used Query. :-)

I fail to see that this method of access to Image would have any
fundamental difference in performance than any other client/server
communication link.  It's just a trick to allow access to the
Image API through a file-based API.  The performance is entirely
a function of how you implement it, not the fundamental concept.
