How to not load any MIB files

I'm using snmptrap command to send notifications.  It works well, 
but it is quite slow.

I noticed it depends on loading all the MIB files.  I don't need 
MIBs, because I use only numerical OIDs:

  snmptrap -v2c -c public 192.168.1.1 "" 1.3.6.1.4.1....

[The uncomplete numerical OID is the notification to send.]

It seems the only method to avoid loading MIBs is to set MIBDIRS 
variable to "", so I use the command (everything on the same line):

  export MIBDIRS=""; snmptrap -v2c -c public 
  192.168.1.1 "" 1.3.6.1.4.1....

I receive the prompt in a very short time, and this is good for me. 
The trap is effectively and correctly send to the destination.  The 
only problem is a bunch of error messages like the following:

Cannot find module (IP-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (IF-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (TCP-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (UDP-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (HOST-RESOURCES-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (DISMAN-EVENT-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (DISMAN-SCHEDULE-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (UCD-SNMP-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (UCD-DEMO-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
...

Why snmptrap application tries to find those modules, if I use only 
numerical OIDs?  Could I safely ignore these error messages?  I 
tried to redirect them to /dev/null, but I couldn't. 
I tried with ">/dev/null" and "2>/dev/null" without success.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
