But I found that inserts were faster if I didn't create the table with INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, so it looked I gained there, although I understand I might lose out somewhere else.

It's part of SQLite storage mechanism. If you don't explicitly declare one, it's still there under the name ROWID or OID (and a few other synonyms). By explicitly declaring it, you simply give the same column yet another name. So no, you won't gain anything by trying to avoid this column - it is always there whether you declare it or not.
