Well on those systems where I do not use Akonadi and switch to SQLite3.

Please do not do this without having a good reason to do it, in case you 
actually use Akonadi.

There is potential data loss – i.e. loosing mails, appointments, 
contacts – in there, since Akonadi is unfortunately not just a read 
cache, but a time-limited – or unlimited in case of a certain 
conditation – write cache where things may end to be stored just in the 
database for a limited or even an unlimited time ("item without RID" 
message in akonadictl fsck).
