Slow performance using getBlob(), how can I correct this ?

Question

I have wav files stored in a database that range from 10M - 75M... When I make a JDBC call using ResultSet..ie a rs.getBlob for a large wav file, the performance is terribly slow. How can I improve this ? Is there a way to get the BLob is pieces or sections ?

Hi. Thanks for you response.
You are correct. I believe the code is not slow when running the result.getBlob funciton is called, it must be when I stream it to the audio player. The point where it becomes slow is when I try and play it. After clicking play the song starts about 15 seconds later.
Here is my code:
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(select);
               ResultSet result = stmt.executeQuery();
               while( result.next() ) {
                    blob = result.getBlob(type);
               result.close();
               stmt.close();
               result = null;
InputStream is = blob.getBinaryStream();
               SourceDataLine line;
          AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(is);
