I'm not exactly sure if having the mibs loaded on the system has an impact unless you're translating SNMP traps. There's an impact if you're receiving traps, because we have to look up the OIDs which would involve loading the mibs into memory. It's a common misconception that you need the MIBs loaded to monitor with Zenoss, but we only use the mib when providing messages for events for SNMP traps. For monitoring we just get individual OIDs.
