I disabled it and wow! the game is now running fine! I can run it at 1024 resolution, 0AA, 0AF, Textures best, all effects off except for Bloom, Decals, Gloss, and Bumpmapping.
In online play, I probably have to disable gloss and bumpmapping as the game still isn't as optimized as commercial releases but hey, it's a looker!

So what did I just disable?
(also "gl_finish 1"; i did that too and it helped --- a BIT. It's the other console command that got rid of the strange online AND offline lag)
I would like to know what these two do. Thanks! Great game! I'll post a review of it in my blogsite soon to spread the word!
