I must state I've never used sqllite or embedded firebird. My issue with firebird is the additional libraries you must install - which isn't a big deal in Windows, but due to dependency hell I stay away from anything requiring extra's. Does sqllite require extra libraries? One of my key enjoyments of TDbf is that there's nothing else, it's all implemented within the Pascal code. I never have to think about if libraries registered properly or something in the OS overwrote my version with a newer or older version. This also reduces end-user tech support issues in my experience. But again, keep in mind I'm talking about a single-user application compiled for both Windows and Linux.

The other DB devel I do is almost all what I would call an "application appliance" - a LAMP rack mounted unit with entirely a web based interface. On that note I'd LOVE to see a series of Lazarus frameworks for implementing an Ajax application... That stuff is hard to code!

Opps, a cross mail, i just answered your last mail ;)

Here you have some benchmarks (posted in sqlite mail list, so "perhaps" are biased)

SQLite don't need any extra library, except itself. For now i don't know how statically link a C library to pascal program (never tried), i use .dll and .so In MacOSX and Solaris, SQLite is part of the system, so you don't need anything to install.

Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny yet measurable distance from the earth every year. If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth's surface. This would explain the death of the dinosaurs. The tallest ones, anyway.
