--- Quote from: CT71 on April 12, 2013, 02:05:07 AM ---I have the EQ enabled, which to me means all the bands are enabled.  So I'm not terribly clear on that.  If you have a 6 band, 10 band, or a 12 band equalizer and then you turn it on - everything is turned on.  Am I missing something in the terminology here?

As bluebrother mentions above me, only those bands which have a gain set to a non-zero number are actually enabled, and thus requiring CPU resources.

Nobody is asking you to turn it off permanently, but you came to us asking for assistance.  All I'm asking of you is thirty seconds of your time - less time than I've given you so far - to turn off the EQ and see if the problem goes away.  If the problem goes away (which I'm pretty sure it will) we can go deeper and find a middle-ground configuration which works for you.

The iPod's have a measly old dual-core ARM processor going at 80Mhz and the second core is barely used.  Rockbox has more than enough features which when all enabled would make that processor beg for mercy.  Those features aren't going to be removed simply because one device out of the many many Rockbox runs on can't do everything at once, we leave the decision on what compromises to make up to the user and in doing so expect a level of cognizance on the part of the user.  We support that understanding as best as possible, through a very active IRC channel, a very robust manual, a wiki, and these here forums.

CT71:
Ok, it is the EQ - I turned it off and all scrolling is fine.  Is there a work around to this feature???  Like I said, it is THE only feature I wanted - I'm completely and utterly bummed by this.  Damn, this just plain sucks.

bluebrother:
Well, if you post the configuration file I've asked for earlier people can see what functions you have enabled and give advise what is requiring most CPU power you could turn off. But until then it's mostly guessing ...

Plus, you can use an audio format that takes less processing power to decode. Which doesn't necessarily mean that this will be sufficient.

My apologies, my response was not directed at yours - I either posted at the same time as yours or I didn't go on to page 2 and see yours.  Either way, I had not seen your response when I responded to bluebrother.

@bluebrother
Thanks, Geez, I FINALLY did find what your looking for.  But now I've run into other problems, and now I'm just getting more and more embarrassed at each passing post because I'm afraid I just don't know how to do anything your going to ask for me to do.  Example, now that I've found the cfg file, I've sat here for the last 45 minutes trying to figure out how to get it to show up on the post.  I guess I'll just have to try and figure out how to delete CPU intensive things on my own now that I atleast know this can be done.  Or I'll just have to go back to my regular ipod.  I didn't mean to waste anyones time here, but if I can't even figure out how to get the cfg file that I opened with my Notepad onto this post, like I said, it's just gonna get embarrassing for me, and frustrating for you.  Thanks, I'll try and figure this out hopefully.

Copy and paste it inside the code formatting option in the message composition settings, or attach it using the "attachments and other options" part of the message composition window.

Either way show us your "EQ on" settings which cause problems.
