ok - I got it: the C++ Parser parses for C++ errors in the code that show in
Problems window. It parses only for simple C++ errors like unclosed quotes,
brackets, missing semicolons. It runs in cppsupport/backgroundparser.

The slider sets the delay between parses (which one can see by watching
Problems window). The maximum is 2000 ms (configproblemreporter.ui), default
is 1000 ms(configproblemreporter.ui.h). Minimum isn't set anywhere (is it 250
ms?).

Maybe the better name for it all would be (C++) Problem reporter (or C++
Parsing problem reporter) - C++ Parser isn't self explanatory

so maybe it should be Enable KDoc ( Disable doxygen ) kdelibs documentation?

I'm missing a "reset" or "create" or "update" button - currently it's
recreated when ok button is clicked, meaning it requires closing dialog. The
button would be useful if something changed in indexed directories and it
would be similar to "Documentation Tree -> Full text index" page.

preparsing is associated with code completion right?

this is clear now after above was explained.

maybe tooltips would answer some of those questions - are you planning to
create them for some controls?
