One file for each sprite or one big file with all sprites?

Depending on what you do in order to create the sprites and hold them in memory I really do not think it really matters.

I have always created seperate files for the sprites, mainly since I have animated sprites and it is easier to implement with seperate files.

I suppose it is a subjective opinion but I would choose single files over one big one each time. :)

Based on the processor cache, several smaller sprites or vertically stacked sprites are likely to be faster.

Good blog post here:
