Separate tables in single database is completely equivalent to separate tables in separate databases (databases aren't real, tables are real). I simply don't see any point in changing that.
That was my point -- your suggestion (separate tables, one db) will be no faster than the present situation (separate tables, separate dbs), and little faster than Paul's suggestion (combined tables, one db), as logjams on the English wiki will continue to affect both the many anglophone users and the users on other languages in all three cases.
Having only 'interwiki' and 'users' common is enough, we can merge the rest later if it won't result in any performance problems.
True enough.
