Polling Engine Tuning & APM

Question

I am curious if the recommended settings in the Polling Engine Tuning tool take the functions that APM is performing into consideration?

If not, what is the recommended method to factor this in when tuning the polling engines that are also running APM?

How many of you have multiple pollers?  Now that SW has changed the licensing, I was thinking about moving the APM polling to poller bound.  We only have about 200 pollers right now but I see it growing in the future.  Our main NPM server was taking kind of a beating with APM, NTA, and over 9k interfaces.

Same here, I run a lot of APM.  I always set the pollers as to what the tuner recommends.
