An idea would be to have a PATH call somewhere like in enableFields
idea:
$lConf['image.']['file'] = 
$this->pi_getStoragePath($table,$field).$row['filename'];

You could query TCA (making it slower again, maybe measure the benefit) 
and get the path.

I suggest to have this as a CLI tool, because I have a customer with 
more than 40.000 images in one folder ;-)
Apache might run into timeout troubles.
