Spreading data in multiple tables in MySQL database?

Question

Im writing an application that have 1000 objects and around 10 million lines of data. The data will be used to plot a chart containing more than 1000 values each time its plotted. Does it helps the application performance if I create 1 table for each object and have their data spread across all the tables instead of the same one?

Im afraid the application will slow down searching the 1000 values inside a 10 million lines table, specially when joining other two or three tables.

Is there a minimum size when this practice is recommended? Or is there any case that this practice is recommended?

Thanks,

Creating 1000 tables is never the best option, so I would say you should go with one table and have indexes in it wherever required.
