I highly recommend people to try adjusting their DesiredSimRate = 20 (default) to a lower value such 13 - 15 (in the sDemons.ini file). This has imo had a dramatic effect on reducing lag effects for me in online missions. (Both positive and negative benefits to me - easier to kill and be killed - and I don't believe it provides an unfair advantage).

Unfortunately it's still difficult to tell how much of an effect it has on the damage bug without more testing. I believe it has been reduced for me, but without knowing who else is running at the same setting it's difficult to evaluate peer to peer effects.

However, the biggest benefit is more consistent flight speeds in tight formation - if your wingman is running fps below 20 he will lose distance to you even if his posted speed is identical. By lowering the DesiredSimRate he will not lose distance unless his fps drops below the simrate value he has set.
