At the time, I believe it was that performance of SQLite was just not
all that hot.

And, yes, there was a lot of "omg this broke everything" and Erland had
a mess in his plugins to deal with things the database layer didn't
provide an abstract method for him, etc etc.

So, yes, this is a bit deja vu'ish in reverse...

But, then, supposedly SQLite has made great improvements.. it's
certainly at least competitive for me (not seeing -huge- improvements,
but it's a bit faster than MySQL, other people may have different
results).
