So, by performance, are you suggesting me to use SQL Server COMPACT ?
I suggest that you measure it's performance, as different machines will display different behaviors. In general, it seems to be suggested that Sql Ce is the faster of the two, with my own testresults[^] listed below;
txt
Microsoft Access (Provider: OleDB)
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\database1.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;
16377 records 54 seconds, averaging 0.0033 seconds per inserted record.

SQL CE (Provider: SqlCe)
Data Source=C:\MyDatabase1.sdf;
16377 records in 38 seconds, averaging 0.023 seconds per inserted record. 
Sql Compact does have other limitations, so it's a trade-off between the extra speed, or extra convenience. You can't use stored procedures for one, while Access has the benefit that you can even embed some reports in the datastore.

Don't take a suggestion based on rumors on the internet - make a list of arguments that prove that it's going to be the better choice for your specific scenario.
