You don't understand the game mechanics.
Swinging faster is not better by itself. There is literally no benefit to the act of swinging faster. It's like flipping 1000 coins vs. flipping 10000 coins: you'll get more of both results with the latter because there's a bigger sample size, but the random variation is the same in principle.
There can be a greater yield from damage bonus in some cases, but that's a secondary benefit. The pure act of swinging faster does not do you any particular good. A more "even spread of hits and misses" is meaningless. By that token, the best weapon in the game would be MCT, and anyone who knows their shit knows that it isn't. Then come all the indirect disadvantages of a fast weapon: more incoming ripostes, more damage from damage shields, no use in duels etc.
Also, 28 dly is the point where it gets 2h damage bonus at all. RFS gets the damage bonus of a 1h weapon, but its uniquely low delay still makes it good. 40 is the point where it starts to get extra damage bonus, up to like 75 dly where it stops. This is also why a weapon like Oggok Cleaver has uses but Weighted Axe doesn't really.
IFS will simply out-damage PB. There's nothing more to it.
