For instance, this allows a huge diversity in weapon statistics, since stats freeze, sleep, etc are not limited to .05 of a second increments (1 divided by 20 FPS = .05 in case you didn't know where that limitation comes from).
And apart from guns, every script on PC Era relies on the fact that the game runs at 20 FPS. I don't know how easy it would be to port things over to iEra
This isn't true? All the iphone servers are on the same maxed out FPS as the normal servers. However iEra is indeed scripted differently. Snk/Andy scripted a huge portion of not all of it from scratch. It's much more efficent than era pc. So it lags alot less, the only reason it does lag it maintains over 3000 players at times.
