Good question.
By default, yes, since no display list is built. However if you OR-in the
"i want a display list no matter what" bit in the pfMultiprocess mode,
then the cull's display list is built and will be available for fast
multiple calls to pfDraw().
The downside to this is that while you're building that display list,
nothing is being sent to the pipeline.
