SQLite is very storage efficient in the common case.  In a typical
table, SQLite will use about 4 or 5 bytes of disk space for every 3 bytes
of actual data stored.  Put another way, about 60% to 75% of an
SQLite database file is the actual data being stored and the other
40% to 25% is overhead.

If you have an example where the overhead is significantly larger than
this, I'd be interested in seeing it.

The new version 3.0 file format is anticipated to reduce overhead by
about 5%.  YMMV, of course.
