I think there is some problem with optimization. When colony population is bigger as around 50ppl then game start to be totally unplayable coz of stuttering.
Fraps shows 15-60Fps but it feels like 3Fps. When colonists sleep or stand in fight mode then game works smoothly but when colonists start normal work then game works like 3fps. There is the same problem even if all stockpile are deleted.
There is screen from CPU manager + GPU monitor, it looks like CPU works at max 50%, GPU average 30%.
My config is i5 3570K 4.5GHz, GTX 660Ti, 16GB Ram.
Is any way to correct this?

There is hardly any optimisation in this release, as this is the first public alpha of the game.
Alpha 2 is expected to have a huge performance boost, as noted by the public changelog, which is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_rCdGYp3nbSUXFG4Ky96RZW1cJGt9g_6ANZZPOHyNsg/pub
Unfortunately this means that there is basically nothing you can do to improve performance.
And the game actually never was intended for that many people to my understanding.
But maybe with the newest optimizations the game can handle it.
Discussed it with tynan. For now it wont be seen as a bug.
Its a performance problem the game simply wasnt designed to handle 50 colonists.
Further optimizations might make this possible.
Actually i made colony with 100ppl, its still possible but game get a lot of freezes. Many times frame rate is around 0.5Fps. Pause/Fight Mode/Sleep corrects this problem.
Tested at W7 Ultimate 64bit
