SPI and bytea columns

hello!
i want to insert jpeg pictures into a bytea field and i implemented a
SPI extension. this function reads the jpeg-file from the filesystem,
converts it into a octal-coded string to pass the sql-parser, and then
exec's the insert statement. this is rather slow, and i'd like to insert
using lower level postgres functions that handle binary data without base64-
or escaped en-/decoding.

did anyone something like this in the past?

thanks,
