Antialiasing Threshold

What does this do and what setting will be faster, and what setting will give better quality image?

If I remember my C4D correctly you don't need to touch this since it will add to the rendering time (exponentially) without noticeable differences. AA basically cleans up the jaggies (steps) on diagonal lines.

Which way adds to the render time ? Higher Threshold or Lower ?

If I had to guess it would be lower.

Lower for faster or Higher for slower?

lower = slower (more area/pixels to evaluate)

but I am guessing

I set threshold to 50 on this test and it does not seem to make much difference. Please forgive my bad textures.

I am pretty sure now that the threshold setting has to do with edges of surfaces only.
