Hi Dan!
I am sure SQLite can be faster, but its not comparable with either
MySQL or PostgreSQL
so is this text based "db"  http://txtsql.sourceforge.net/

I do have SQLite actively used in a number of sites (e.g.
collegelinux.org) and frankly,
for an end user standpoint specially of a size that might be interested
in SQLite, there is really
no humanly noticeable speed difference IMHO.

When you talk about speed the average PHP developer is thinking about
his guestbook or forum becoming slower with Pgsql
and this is not true ;)

Thanks
David
