Serial Camera Question

Hi,

I have an application where I want to take a picture with a serial camera and transfer it to the mbed for some processing (not sure yet what type). My question is would it be quicker to read in the whole picture using the SerialBuffered library and then hold it in memory to do something with it or to set up a loop that reads in a byte then saves that byte to memory then reads then next byte in saves that to memory .etc

Also any idea how long it takes to read and write things to the mbed local file system, would this be an option?

Thanks
