Note that arriving ships can overflow, and add to current production. And it is possible for IS pop to grow twice in a turn, once in space, and then the overflow on the ground gets another chance to grow. In practice this is rare and minor.

Quite minor but still visible....
For example:
You have 475,000 pop at planet and orbiting freighters.
You want to hold it at level of 275,000.
Your IS growth is 18%.
People may do it usual way:
Take 2000kt into freighters where is room to grow and leave 2750kT on ground. Freighters grow into 2180, ground into 3245kT.
But you, you turn terribly clever and do it smart way:
You take 2198kT into 2 large freighters and leave 2552kT on ground, filling the rest of large freighters with minerals.
The freighters overflow 198kT to addition of 2552kT -> 2750kT
After that they grow on ground into 3245kT
What you gained in the process was that your pop growth in freighter was 9.9% instead of 9%.  Not that i encourage MM like described.
