[sqlite] composite PK vs. single PK

Is there any gotcha, any disadvantage (query complexity, db size, query speed) to using a composite PK (two columns) vs. a single AUTOINCREMENT INT? Background: I happen to have the two columns in question in my table anyway. Adding an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY would use up space I don't want to use.
