No, I'm afraid it isn't. All you have done there is to maximise the actual growth at that particular planet.

After the population of the planet hits 25%, then each additional colonist grows at a reduced rate. You start to hit negative growth with each colonist once you hit 33%.

The key there is that until you hit 33% each additional colonsit does produce *some* growth. However the effective growth of those last few % is dramatically below your race's growth rate. If you instead sent those additional colonists to another lower hab world then they would still grow faster.

Example: growth of 33% pop on a single 100% world will be lower than the combined growth of 32% pop on a single 100% world and 2% pop on a 50% world.

I got into quite an invloved discussion about growth maximisation recently in the Academy, I'll go find you a link so you can take a look.
