Since we want to support NFS based systems, I decided to disable WAL.
The sqlite docs say:
"All processes using a database must be on the same host computer; WAL does not work over a network filesystem."

I guess the perofrmance penalties of not using WAL are an acceptable tradeoff for the improved compatibility to different FSs in general.
