Question : Do memory and binary fields slow performance?

I'd like to know if others agree with the expert who posted:
"If a table contains memo or binary data, it is a good idea to store it in a separate table, linked 1:1 to the original table. This is due to performance reasons, as memo and binary data are put to the end and require alot of effort when searching or sorting . Also, Access loads recordsets into a local cache, and if binary data is there, but not required, it just blows up the cache (consumes memory). "

- slightly paraphrased from: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Q_26329976.html

Answer : Do memory and binary fields slow performance?

"Also, Access loads recordsets into a local cache, and if binary data is there, but not required, it just blows up the cache (consumes memory). ""

I've never ever seen this to be a problem.  And again, this is pretty much the same subject as your other Q - which btw, is still open :-)
