This is true in _some_ use cases and this is what I would have said
without more credentials and knowledge of the code. Fact is... it's not
that simple.

The SQLite backend was first born for _speed_ improvement only and it's
confirmed by both benchmarks and user experience.

Some process ask much more local disk I/O than WLAN capacity because
with very LAN efficient requests you can do large modifications (mail
deletions, etc).
