What software do you use for banner managment on your sites?

I've tried storing images in MYSQL DB, but I don't know if they get stored in cache like regular images. Seemed like they get downloaded every time I refresh the page, i.e. a big waste in bandwidth. Also, I have heard people say storing images in MYSQL will bog down the server.

I suspect wherever you put the banners, your pages will still load slower since the host we're on doesn't seem to like php/mysql.

Exactly true! Maybe if enough WebAir people suggest that they look into the SQL lag, maybe something will come of it. I know last night my pages were loading lightening fast and today they're slow again.
