Framerate in Irrlicht depends on your hardware. It goes as fast as your hardware can. You could limit it with the VSync option (boolean value before event receiver value in createDevice() function). You don't need to optimize nor keep it stable, it'll be always the maximum.

ya i mean to limit it. my comp is slow, and so when i distribute any to friends to try, it goes super fast for them. can u post an example of using the vsync? im used to engines where u just state the fps. NEWB HERE

You don't need to limit the fps. You need to limit the movement at each frame in function of the elapsed time. See this link:
