That's a really good idea.. many monster types drop identical types/ranges of equipment,
e.g rusty/bronze/FS weapons, various armour types, gems and jewellery of various values, runes/words,
spell scrolls etc, as well as their "unique" loot like bone chips, so using shared tables for this would save a lot of time as well as a fair bit of memory. Maybe each NPC could be assigned a list of loot tables, instead of simply a loot table, so e.g for skeletons you'd assign the Rusty Weapons and Skeleton tables, and for orc legionnaires the Rusty Weapons, Bronze Weapons, Cloth Armour and Orc tables.
