I'd be very interested in an answer to this, particularly ways around the
current limitation of a user spawned thread only being able to create pf(things)
when the APP is not in pfSync or pfFrame. As far as I can see this limitation
makes it impossible to use another process to do terrain paging for you.

In effect, every pf(create anything) must be in the app.

In my case I have at least one cpu doing virtually nothing, and the app processor
overloaded, and no way to share.
