SNMP never used full ASN.1 - and I am not sure BER encoding is
actually a problem. There are implementation techniques to deal with
BER data reasonably fast and with a small memory footprint.

Most of the overhead in SNMP messages comes from the OIDs if an SNMP
message carries multiple varbinds; there have been proposals in the
past to perform OID compression - not sure whether some of this would
be applicable here.

The other probably more important thing is of course again security;
SNMPv1 is historic and SNMPv3 with security is much more verbose and
computationally expensive (if you enable security).
