Tomasz' texvc generates the images in a directory and re-uses them on demand (the TeX strings are hashed and stored in a table). I doubt it would be a performance hit at all, but if it would, texvc->latex->dvips->convert could easily be executed on a remote machine.
Well, that is fine, but I'd prefer having the TeX text and resulting images in the database. Makes internal coding a lot easier. We have namespaces; there is no reason not to use them. Having it in-database lets us check for orphaned equations trivially.
