Adding tooltips to "magic" options doesn't usually help much - if the
user doesn't know what the option is for, an extra sentence won't make
much of a difference.


I can't think of a particularly useful tooltip besides "this option may
make your computer work better, or break it horribly. We can't figure
out which, so it's probably not a good idea to change it."
