I am again thinking on the lines of Sqlite. Reading through the last thread where we discussed about this, the most concerns came because Sqlite may cause additional complexity to Pritlog, there may be additional setup required etc.
Firstly, I request you all to test out the below code on your servers and post the results. You have to extract the below file, upload to your server and run.

Edit: I tested this script on some of the most common/popular free php hosts and it worked without any changes:
110mb
000hosted
freehostia
000webhost
007sites
07x
My reasoning:
Not complex at all - Sqlite creates a single file for a DB where Pritlog can store the posts. No additional setup or installation procedure is required. It would be the same as giving the right permissions and run Pritlog.
Portability - One advantage I personally use and enjoy in pritlog is its portability. The folder can be copied to any server, any subdirectory, any website and it will run without any changes or expore/import of databases. Since Sqlite will create 1 file for the posts, Pritlog would continue to be highly portable.
Performance - Since Sqlite is a database, the performance would be awesome even if the number of posts on your blog gets huge.
