It's always best to spatially organize the scene graph
for culling. pfPartitions speed up intersection
traversals, e.g. terrain following, but do not affect
culling. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

From the man page:
-------------------
DESCRIPTION
A pfPartition is a type of pfGroup which organizes the scene graphs of
its children into a static data structure which can be more efficient for
culling and intersections.
^^^^^^^
--------------------
Which is accurate? What does a pfPartition *really* do? What, specifically,
is a pfPartition? Does it modify its children? Does it splice (divide)
geometry into pieces? Does it make culling more efficient?
Thanks in advance,
