Well, unless I'm missing the point, I only see m_frustumCulling member
variable with setter/getter. But that's all: nobody seems to care
about the status of this member variable, nor if it was set when a
QFrustumCulling instance was found in a RenderView's frame path. Or
maybe is it because you're in the process of rewriting things for more
parallelism as you told?

As a side note, how jobs then "interface" themselve in the rendering process?

Yes, thanks :-)
