For SQLite, except in exceptional cases such as huge (multi terabyte) databases or slow media, it is more efficient to have one big table rather than several smaller tables. At a first glance, when I see two tables with identical column definitions, I tend to feel that they should be merged into one table with one additional column. Occasionally there are situations in which it's not appropriate, such as when the ability to DROP an entire table efficiently is useful. But it's a good guideline.
