Are the images on a drive by themselves or do you have other things (i.e.
DB, webserver files, or more importantly, webserver AND cf log files)
located on the same drive. If you have your webserver logs on the same
disk, every single request will require a read of the image file and a
write to the log file on the same disk, which are undoubtedly stored on
different parts of the platters and can cause substantial speed hits. I
wouldn't think you are pushing your disk subsytem to the limits of its
capabilities but it is certainly a possibility. Reading/Writing one large
file will give you much higher performance then reading/writing lots of
small files.
