Depends on whether it needs to use them, or not.
If it loads the MIB files, this slighty increases the startup time and
memory usage.
If it doesn't load the MIB files, then it can't understand config lines such as
view systemView included system
or
monitor "processes" prErrorFlag = 1
If you don't want to load the MIB files, it's better to suppress the
list of MIBs to load, rather than pointing the agent to a dummy
location. If you do that, then there's a slight hit when the agent
start up, and the logs fill up with error messages.
If you set MIBS="", then the agent simply doesn't try to load any
MIB files at all.

Yes - see above.
