Not a highly sophisticated answer, but basically the disk database is for local work on one system, and the postgre database is for collaborative work on a server, where several people/workstations can access the same material. I am not sure about any speed issues, though.

Previously Disk Database also went through a full save (or at least it felt like it anyway). Resovle 14 features list now say that it now does incremental saves so is meant to be much faster (yet to try it out though).
