ListView vs RecyclerView when working with SQLite

I know RecyclerView is more flexible and fast than ListView, but when it comes to "Working with SQLite Database" is it good to use RecyclerView instead of Listview?

I think the ListView gives much more control over the Cursor, the Adapter, the data and on top of all it is much easier to implement than RecyclerView. So, does it make sense to use RecyclerView for just minor performance improvement?
