On live, the proc rate of a weapon has nothing to do with the number if swings.
Proc rate on live is a function of percent chance over time.
See this thread for more details:

This is why shakerpaging warriors would actually get slow debuffed prior to shakerpaging. If you get your swings per minute low enough, the proc chance ends up basically being 100% per swing. Then, when you rampage, even though you are getting 100's of swings all at once, the proc chance percentage calculation was done prior to that and you end up proccing on nearly every swing as well. This is just one reason why shakerpaging was often considered an exploit

Looking at the EQEmu source code (in general, not specifically for p99) the code supports both a proc-per-minute calculation (like live) as well as a flat per-swing proc-chance adjusted by DEX and item/spell/aa proc bonuses (which would apply to each swing, making faster weapons proc more). This is configurable for each EMU server independently, so p99 could use either method, or could have a completely custom Mob::GetProcChances() function implemented

That being said, since the goal of this server is to re-create live ~1999, it is extremely likely that the proc-rate calculation on this server is based on a 'procs-per-minute' calculation, and as such, it is most likley that low delay weapons
do not proc more often than high-delay weapons, since that is how it works on live. A faster weapon does not correlate to increased chances to proc, even though you are swinging more often. Instead, all weapons with a proc will be based on an average procs per minute (I believe on live it's 2 procs a minute) adjusted by dex, aa and the weapons proc-rate modifier (if it has one... Very few weapons have a proc-rate modifier, with them only becoming relatively common in Luclin and beyond. However, one such weapon is 'DawnFire, Morning Star of Light' which drops in Fear)
