Amdahl's law very much applies, and doesn't explicitly only involve
concurrency.  It is about relating speedups of individual pieces and
how that affects the whole.  For example:

Lets say that processing a representative query involves ten different
places in the SQLite code, and that each one of those takes about ten
percent of the total execution time.  And then lets say
likely/unlikely speeds up one of those by ten percent.  The overall
whole improvement will then be 1%.  To get an overall improvement of
10% each of the ten different pieces would need to get about 10%
faster.  That would be a huge amount of work, and the nature of each
of those places would have be that they could be sped up that way.
