Use SQLite for storage?

This is a forum for discussion of plusses and minuses of using SQLite for storage instead of XML files as NewsFox currently uses.

I have thought enough about switching to know it will be a lot of work and probably something for the next developer. There will be a lot of design decisions to make.

I don't know that much about it.

Observations: RSS is a much harder problem than bookmarks, there are typically many more of them and the turnover is magnitudes of times faster. I have heard anecdotal reports about deletions being *really* slow in SQLite.

If I make a bookmarks file with a few thousand entries(well below the point where NewsFox slows down), the bookmarks manager in Firefox 3(SQLite) seems much more sluggish than the bookmarks manager in Firefox 2.
