This is quite impossible to calculate, as all networks are widely 
individual. If you do a lot of SNMP checks, or check ftp downloads with 
large files, you'll quite naturally get a higher impact on the network. 
If you check a lot of cpu-heavy things over strong encryption tunnels 
you will quite naturally affect the performance of the monitored nodes.

As always, each admin will have to find their own way to achieve a 
nicely balanced equilibrium. This generally sorts itself out, as it's 
usually very simple to see which checks wreak havoc in the network and 
simply disable them if the impact is too great.
