Why is Realm so fast compared to SQLite?

Viewed 5139

I have seen the benchmarks on the Realm website, how come Realm is so fast compared to SQLite, which has a long development history, being released back in 2000?

I was wondering if someone with knowledge could share some general techniques that Realm uses underneath the hood in the database layer? As of March, 2016, only the bindings are open-sourced and the db layer is still closed off.
