Agreed. From the look at it, a few things: WAL is not enabled, insertion is not wrapped in transactions. I did a benchmark a while ago and if everything done right it is much faster: https://dflat.io/benchmark/ https://dflat.io/benchmark/ Also, even if it is done right, inserting 100,000 of 512 byte objects will be around 50MiB, which will be the point to trigger checkpointing WAL file into the main db, which can further slow down SQLite.
