The point of the config.ini is to give a very low level confirmation of the parameter settings so you can know what your simulation script is really doing. It's the equivalent of reading the assembly code to make sure your compiler isn't broken (well, not exactly, but close). Once you've confirmed that your clock settings in the script are getting passed through correctly to the simulation, you really shouldn't have to look at it again.
