Did you try first to activate lazy_table? It brings a lot of improvment of performance and I am not sure you will feel much more improvement with subfolder conditional models... Combining to the fact that your will not be DRY that much anymore for the reason you expose, I think you should stick with lazy_table and if you really need more performance, you maybe should look at model-less approach where you define your models into classes in modules and import them where you need theme...
