Just a remark:
Increasing the SQLite page_size while keeping the same
[default_]cache_size will effectively increase the amount of memory
allocated to the SQLite cache, because the SQLite cache_size is
expressed in pages.
IMHO, for a fair performance comparison, one should half the
cache_size when the page_size is doubled.
