I have noticed this as well. When I check how my mods have effected the AI I look at their build queue and am no longer amazed that I can outbuild them so quickly. I almost never have a build queue empty except for some of the tiny planets. I build ships on 90% or more of my planets after the facilities are all built, they are never idle unless I am short of minerals and that is a very rare occurance now. The AI on the other hand is building on maybe 10%-20% of their worlds, even if there is room left to build facilities, in the mid and late game. They even make intell designated worlds that sit almost empty untill they finally research intell.
