Sorry I am not an MS CRM specialist at all. Is the licensing scheme
multi-process or multi-processor sensitive?
It is difficult to predict the exact impact of using mutliple application
pool on performances in this case. But for sure, each app pool will use it
own process.
I would keep the default one for MS CRM (or maybe it creates a dedicated one
at setup time?) and create custom ones for your own applications.
Now regarding the throughput, you can closely monitor the whole system and
each aspwp process for usual bottlenecks (cpu, mem, disk...) and tune
performances accordingly
