After pressing "Reply" at the end of the thread you'll see a form. In that "Post reply" form you're using for replying click on the "Attachments and other options" link. You'll get some additional fields below. Press the "Browse" button next to the "Attach" field. Use the file chooser that comes up navigate to the file you already found. Select the file and press Ok. The "Attach" field will now show the path to the file (in my screenshot above this would be "E:\.rockbox\config.cfg". Write your post and post it.
Or open config.cfg with Notepad, select the whole contents (Ctrl-A), then copy (Ctrl-C) it. Close Notepad, head over to your browser and paste (Ctrl-V) with the cursor at the desired location in your reply.
I can't help but wonder how you managed to install Rockbox ...

Ain't that the truth.
So, this is my cfg file. If there's more to it that you need let me know. I'd be surprised that I got it right on the first go :
# .cfg file created by rockbox 3.13 - http://www.rockbox.org

Well you've got way more EQ bands on then you can reasonably support given the CPU power available, and you've picked questionable settings that may distort your audio.
I would probably just delete your config file and start over. Should fix your lag and probably the next question you were going to ask about why your audio sounds weird :)
-------
So when I said that adding more EQ bands was a bad idea because people were going to do stupid things with them, this is what I meant. I think we should probably disable the extra bands on slower targets and go back to the old system.
CT71:
Thanks Saratoga. But obviously I have questions. Stupid ones, maybe - but still some questions never the less. First off, is there a player that has enough CPU power to support a ten band EQ? I'm not about to go buy that player, but just wondering if a ten band EQ is outrageously so over the top, what player CAN actually support it? Second, these EQ settings were never intended to be my final settings - when I loaded Rockbox and turned it on I just started playing around with it - how does it sound, how does it look, how does it sound with the EQ on, those sorta things. Then the scrolling became choppy and I posted here - so I'm not even using the ipod right now because of this. The settings are nowhere near even close to distorted, brickwalled, or funky sounding though. But heres the thing I do have questions on - since basically all I want from Rockbox is to use the full 10 bands and to just simply play music - every last other extra, or function, could be deleted for my purposes - is there a way to do this? Instead of disabling the EQ, or limiting the use to like 3 bands - can I disable like EVERYTHING else?
torne:
There isn't really anything else unless you are using very unusual settings. When playing audio, the only things using any measurable amount of CPU are the actual decoding process (which is codec-dependent: some codecs need more cpu power than others), and any DSP effects you have enabled like the EQ. By default no DSP is on at all.
(One other thing that needs a lot of cpu is the peak meter on the while playing screen, but few themes have this enabled, and the default theme doesn't have one).
