DPS-wise this is better, but technically the Chain Gun is marginally faster.

In optimal conditions, the game runs at 60fps. The base use time refers to how many frames the game waits before firing again. This means that on average (assuming no prefixes or other bonuses) the S.D.M.G. would fire $$60/5=12$$ times a second, while the Chain Gun will fire on average $$60/4=15$$ times per second. Always do keep in mind though that the S.D.M.G. has over double the base damage, meaning that the base DPS is likely at least double what the Chain Gun can output.
