What it does

With it on, the server rewinds other players to where you saw them when you fired. Leave it on: turning it off means you have to lead your shots by your ping.

The game's own description: Perform server side lag compensation of weapon firing events.

Use it in your game

Type it in your own game console: turn on the developer console in the game's settings, then press the key under Esc. To keep it, put the line in tf/cfg/autoexec.cfg.
