disappointing for the use of SQLite.

there's still code in bench/ and in timings/.  It's rotted a bit... I've 
done sporadic updates for Python 3 where it was obvious, but some of the 
tests are just not useful - e.g/ there's one that tries to time scanning 
for includes, and tries to scale itself to an expected amount of time - 
and the alogirithm generates so many includes for today's processor 
speeds that no compiler will accept them (Bill noted that that test was 
scaled for a Celeron-class processor).
