 Right now, every post, page, or attachment is stored in the wp_posts
 table. This means that if you have 10,000 images and 50 posts+pages, every
 time you go to view a post or a page, it's querying a 10,000-row table
 instead of a 50-row table.

 The table could be split into wp_posts and wp_attachments, then if a query
 needed to be run that really did require searching both, you would use a
 view instead.

 Written correctly, the schema could be written to allow other kinds of
 logical partitioning (eg, partitioning post tables by year).
