Storing attachments in the DB be useful for:
	- scaling horizontally (in a multi-server master/slave db environment). 
	- backing up/copy the site requires only a single db copy.
	- can set up a hot backup server as a mysql slave.

The last is probably the most useful to my mind (mainly because I use my server for other things and occasionally need to (or
accidentally) take it off the air).
