SQLite is NOT a key/value store, it's a full featured SQLDB, and hence the default parameters are set to serve this purpose.

Comparing it to levelDB is like comparing redis to postgres with default value.

You can use postgres as redis. You can actually use the key/value store engine and tweak the settings to get very nice performance out of it. But it's not the default behavior.
