in today's L1/L2/L3 world, size *is* speed.

Also, there is a pretty hard limit on how much micro code optimizations can help a DBMS. It's a fundamentally I/O limited problem. Disk is many (4ish?) orders of magnitude slower than main RAM, and the CPU caches are orders of magnitude faster than that.

That is to say, if you made every code path in SQLite zero length, it would do approximately *squat* to improve the time it takes to get your query results.

Only intelligent algorithms matter here, not micro-optimizations. Better indexes, smarter query planners, etc.
