In BF1942 what does MSF mean?

When you want to know you frame rate you type "console.showfps 1" It'll show fps: xxx
but below that it shows MSF: xxx.

What does MSF mean?

Guess number two

sets the current time format to msf (minutes, seconds, frames).

Ok, i'm still confused. My FPS shows anywhere from 40-90, and works fine. The MSF varies from about 8-25. I notice (or at least i think i noticed ;)) When the MSF goes up, the game gets a little choppy. So can someone explain this?

Thanks

I've actually got a good guess:

Miniumum Sustained Framerate

The number after FPS probably shows your average frame rate, and the MSF probably shows the minimum frame rate.

Except he said when it goes UP, the game gets choppy...

I haven't checked out those other forums, b/c I really don't want to register just to post one thread. Plus I really don't want to register with EA or anyother website that would send spam(not saying EA would, but...)

I'm not sure this is the answer or not...but I play a game called WWII Online...and when I pull up the FPS on that game...it does show the FPS on the top line and then it shows the packets on the second...so maybe its the packet information...
