I'd humbly  suggest that modifications to SQLite scripts constitute 
modifications ;)

Have you modified the SQLite database in any way?

Like most db's SQLite is heavily dependent on indices to prevent 
operations being slow - if some have been removed which existing queries 
relied upon, or one hasn't been added to support a new/modified query 
then that could cause a heavy performance loss.

Similarly, SQLite is transactional, so if you do lots of mutation 
queries outside of one each individual query will take a lot longer (as 
each will be under its own transaction requiring a OS disk flush/sync 
after each) - if you've tweaked how you are doing such queries and not 
taken into account transactions that could also cause a heavy 
performance loss.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
