Because it is a lot of data?

Use smaller data when you write it to the database.

Alternatively, you need to look at where it is slow: It could be at the server end (unlikely, unless your database design is complete rubbish), in the transfer itself (possible, it depends on the connections and speeds involved) or in the query itself (quite likely, but without the relevant code fragment it is impossible to tell).

BLOB will take time to get data as this is generally a huge amount of data ( a picture, a pdf or something similar).
You cannot reduce time on the actual fetching of the BLOB - a faster network or table structure optimization may help you - but this has nothing to do with the BLOB object per-se.
