Why would you do this, instead of just building something on the metal?

On a slow platform (ok, an iPhone!) serialization of a 20 field object to a file is approximately 50x faster than running an update statement against SQLite.

You are giving up a LOT of performance, even with a platform that's relatively fast, such as SQLite.

You are right. On an iPhone, I will not use a SQL database.

Dealing with performance, ChocoDB is currently fast enough for me (2x times slower that classic SQLite ; my first version was 8x slower!)
