You will see I posted about the best resource integral for an -f IS
Most of the same applies to a factory one.
Its a lot more complicated than for a standard race.
Yes, I realised that the optimum strategy is a moving hold rather than a static hold. I'm not sure that your calculations are sound, though. Since pop-growth is maximised when at 25% for an IS, shouldn't the moving hold start there and not at 33%?
Assuming you have OBRM, 20% growth, and 366700 pop:
Having it all on the ground (33.3%) would give a growth of (64/81)*20% = 57900 pop growth
Having it set to overflow to 25% (ie, 264800 on the ground and 101900 in orbit with the rest of the freighter filled with boranium) would give a growth of 10200 in orbit (overflowing onto the ground to give 275000) and then 55000 growth on the ground, for a total pop growth of 65200.
Since the general idea of resource integral for IS is to start out by favouring pop and move to favouring resources once the orgy's going, shouldn't you hence start putting pop in orbit at 25%?
