Brian, Unless the polling application running on the machine is very aggressive, I'm surprised that it affects VNC in the way you describe - are you sure the problem isn't to do with update capture performance or CPU load rather than network throughput?
You could download a free trial of VNC Enterprise or Personal Edition from http://www.realvnc.com/download.html, which give better performance than the current Free Edition release, including making use of a mirror video driver. You can safely upgrade to that, give it a try & downgrade to the Free Edition if need be (although you may need to re-configure the Free Edition server afterwards).
