Global spark is as the name implies; It adds (or subtracts) a fixed amount of timing to the final timing calculation, regardless of RPM or load. This is sort of a brute force method of timing adjustments since it occurs after any knock, tip-in or fuel related timing calculation adjustments. I'd honestly stick to adjusting the timing vs RPM as this has a bit more control of how much timing you put where.
