The first CVAR is for software renderer and the second is for hardware one.

It should also be noted that both are intended to be used as debug CVARs, not as an official feature.

Yikes, so it would be a bad idea to advertise these CVars as a way to gain performance?

If your map uses so many mirrors that you have to tell users to turn them off, maybe use less mirrors?
