Well, you mention having a column with images ...
Say your table has columns col1, col2 and colimage. Compare the response time for these two queries:
SELECT t.col1, t.col2, t.colimage FROM MyTable t
SELECT t.col1, t.col2 FROM MyTable t

ya it is returning result in 40 seconds bt it is again too long time,

So what kind of query tool / client application are you using?
And does the table have a primary key?

can you post thhe query and excecution text plan
