//! SQLite vs V3 Backend Performance Comparison (Defensible)
//!
//! This example provides accurate, apples-to-apples performance comparisons
//! between SQLite and V3 backends, clearly distinguishing:
//!
//! 1. POINT LOOKUP: Single node lookup by ID (B+tree traversal)
//! 2. ADJACENCY FETCH: Getting neighbors of a node (cached)
//! 3. TRAVERSAL: BFS/DFS through multiple hops (bulk operation)
//!
//! KEY INSIGHT:
//! - SQLite wins on POINT LOOKUP (mature B-tree optimization)
//! - V3 wins on TRAVERSAL (contiguous adjacency storage)
//! - ADJACENCY FETCH depends on cache state and API overhead
