I still disagree somewhat on the terraforming - I'd rather let my resources fall slightly behind in the very early game in order to increase my early population growth (which will in turn generate greater resources in the medium and long term.)

It's all a big balancing act, to ensure you have crucial technologies at the correct times (MF, LF, Ultrastation/DS, Mining hulls/bots, engines, weapons, etc...) to maximise your growth. Often it is better to let your resource count take a short term hit in order to ensure you meet a vital requirement (easy example is letting resources take a loss to get weapons tech...)

When I use LFs, I usually send them out only partially full (so they can travel at max warp.) If minerals are particularly tight, then yes, I would also only send population on alternate years. I'm not too concerned with trying to keep pop on individual worlds at the exact optimum level, but more concerned with making sure the transiting population is directed to the optimum locations.
