If I am trying to convince a customer of some solution X, I usually do
not tell him to provide proof that the offered solution is worse than
the current one when negotiating. Instead I try to convince him that the
offered solution is better, more robust, future-proof, easier to
maintain and saves tons of money.

Please do not validate a system as good, just because noone yet provided
some figures that outline that the existing system is in fact worse.

That said, I might assume that the sqlite solution is faster, but noone
can see that yet.

Cheers
