Does a BLOB field in a record affect response time, even if the BLOB field is 
null ?

I am pondering about adding a BLOB field to a record for future use.
If however there is a significant performance issue, I may add an additional 
table to store the BLOB field.
The record in that table is read only of I know that the BLOB field is 
present.
