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.
