One of the things people seem to forget is that SQLite itself polls every millisecond or so to grab a lock.

So yes, don't use this in a mobile device, or a server if you want to let the CPU enter a low power state.

Otherwise, a single thread doing this in an otherwise idle server, doesn't seem that terrible. And if it's not idle, inotify won't help you (need to query what changed afterwards).

Appreciated your input on the original thread as well. Maybe I should note this recommendation in the docs or something.
