This is mostly about thread communication. With SQLite you can guarantee no context switching. Postgres running on the same box gets you close but not all the way. It's still in a different process.

This. Run an app on the same box as PG and you can easily be plagued by out of memory etc (as there's memory contention between the two processes).
