You are not multiprocessing (what value are you using in the
pfMultiprocess function call). If it is PFMP_DEFAULT (which is the
value used if you don't call pfMultiprocess) then on a single
processor machine you will have app, cull & draw executing in the same
process.
Performer creates a clock process which is one of the ones you are
seeing when using ps. One of the others is obviously your appculldraw
process (not sure what the other entry is).
Regards,
Mark.
