The ignore_my_docs file is automatically created by the PPC OS whenever it sees memory that does not have a My Documents folder. It tells all the programs on the PPC that uses a My Documents folder by default (Pocket Word, Excell, Media Player and many third party aps) that they should search the entire directory of the memory for files to list when you open them. This can cause severe lag, to the point where it appears the PPC is locked up, when it is a large memory card with a lot of files.

Note, if you delete the file without first creating the My Documents folder, the PPC will recreate it the next time the memory is accessed.

Creating the folder and deleting the file usually speeds things up.
