The simple patch is not enough. To have any value, it must be supported and tested for upcomming versions of SQLite. Using undocumented APIs always carries the risk that the patch will break in the future, possibly staying unnoticed until it caused serious problems to someone. Dan's solution is safe in this regard, and should be preferred - even if using unofficial API calls will certainly be faster. Maybe we'll be lucky and will not be waiting forever!?
