Framerate Smoothing and One frame thread lag?

I have no concrete idea how this game engine goes on about smoothing framerate. I mean just because you checked the box you can't possibly gain extra frames to smooth the game. So my educated guess is that it works kind of like a vsync, but instead of refresh rate, it goes by locking your frames at a level the game engine thinks your system can sustain.

With the latest update I keep this option turned OFF for smoother gaming.

One frame thread lag, I heard, was about delay rendering information for tiny moment so that your GPU can streamline the rendering process more smoothly because it would have bit of extra room to render. Which also means that images you see are not exactly real time. Not 100% sure if that is a proper explanation, but based on experience, turning this option ON causes my control inputs to be very sluggish.

I also keep this option turned OFF for more responsive control mechanism.
