[bf1942] New build lag

Did ryan also not say that he'd increased what was reported as the server
fps from its previous setting of zero? This could hence affect what the ping
is being 'reported as' in game. Have people actually noticed a difference in
latency when its changed from 1 to 30ms or are you just going on what you
are reading from the game?
