Hello,
there is a check as “Refresh list every” under Preferences, is this polling period of BES agents?Sometimes BES agent process seems on top, I need to decrease polling frequency globally.
I suppose you are referring to the “Refresh list every xx seconds” setting at left top corner of Preferences dialog of BigFix Console.
This value specifies how often the Console automatically queries the database for changes.
Please refer to https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Console%20Preferences
My understanding is BigFix server will not poll agent periodically.
Its already mentioned that that is the Console refresh.
If you are looking at CPU usage of the client that is different. Be aware that by default the client is set to use 2% of a single processor unless running an action, where its default is 50%. This is configurable by the WorkIdle/SleepIdle and WorkNormal/SleepNormal settings.

Thanks.
Where are these settings?
For _BESClient_Resource_WorkIdle and _BESClient_Resource_SleepIdle, you can use the TASK “BES Client Setting: CPU Usage” (id 168) in BES Support site.
For _BESClient_Resource_WorkNormal or _BESClient_Resource_SleepNormal, either use “Edit Computer Settings” of Console, or create your own task/fixlet.
