Lowers the power usage and speed, over time, in other words it does what the name says takes off stress with less intense abuse, and suppose to make the card run more stable as you lower it ...

I can confirm it does lower the speed and power usage over time, as the  intensity is lowered

or you can look in the read me it explains it some what better then i do ..

Advice: keep it as is, don't specify it, it is good by default. If you want more technical details about this parameter: it defines how many nonces will be checked in a single GPU round.
Then probably I would need to explain what is nonces, what is GPU round, what is optimal GPU round time for ETH for most cases, etc... It's a lot of text if describe it properly. After all you will understand that default value is good.
So just use default value.

PS. If you are curious, you can find this in readme:
...
   You can also specify negative values, for example, "-ethi -8192", it exactly means "global work size" parameter which is used in official miner.
...
and investigate what is "global work size" parameter of official ETH miner, it is the same.
