If your three tables are handling related data then I think it would be
better to keep their implementation together.

As for performance, if you have one subagent that registers a longer
range then the master agent could offload a longer request so that it
might end up not having to query the next subagent but I think it is
more important to keep the tables logically connected.
It should be noted that instance registrations (in agentx, not net-snmp
terminology) allows even more optimization opportunities.

Finally it is worth mentioning that the optimizations mainly are of
relevance for GetBulk.
