Storage will go up, however. SQLite trades CPU cycles for IO compared to
flat file access.

Sqlite is more than one flat file. It is impossible for it to use less
resources than one flat file.
The only advantage you would gain from Sqlite is in the case where you
use the flat file inefficiently. Sqlite is useful when you want data
management and SQL access implemented in a very elegant and simple way.
