Performance

In those study cases of image storage,

An image that change only once in a while, if it changes at all (like an image for an article)
The image case from above is not only one image but over 10, that link to the same article
An image that have changes very often (like a banner image for a website)
The image above is huge

What is the best approach for each case? What is the "right/faster" way to do this task in each scenario ?
