The SSOA in the graphics options (running hardware test), makes a 12 fps (from 14fps to 26fps on a 2.53Ghz 13" MacBook Pro with Nvida 9400M graphics running at 1280x800) difference but the given explanation didn't mean much to me, nor could I really see any difference on that hardware test (beyond flames flickering badly and then well when SSOA was off)

What does it actually do?

It used for shading surfaces which light less received. Like corners of a room. It helps to give object volumetric feel.

Simplest way to explain it.

It makes shadows more "Deep" and a softer edge.
