Do you have benchmarks for this? When we've profiled IndexedDB
performance for Gaia apps in the past the issue is invariably that the
main thread event loop is busy and IndexedDB's responses have to go to
the end of a long line.
I would hazard a guess that some of SQL's more feature rich constructs
allow you to do more in a single API call. This could mean you need to
hit the event loop less often to accomplish the same amount of work in
many cases.
Just a theory.
