Slon is multithreaded. There are threads:

     main
     local-listen
     cleanup
     remote-listen (1 per remote node)
     remote-worker (1 per remote node)
     remote helper (1 per remote provider)

 From that I would conclude you have a 3 node setup and this was on a 
subscriber node. There are of course other setups that could lead to 8 
threads.

Anyhow, the difference is probably that you see the LW processes 
implementing threads in one case and not the other.
