Is AI/ministers worthless for pop relocation?

The population transport minister is the only minister I'd want to use, doing an essential task that is tremendously tedious. But that minister simply does not work at all.

This is the No. 1 thing I'd like to see patched (aside from the passivity of the AI).

My trouble with was it would mix conquered aliens in with my own people. Which is a problem when they breathe different atmospheres.

I have used the ministers for Pop moving and they are pretty stupid.
They removal a lot of population from the homeworlds sometimes taking them done below 2000.
They only do one thing per turn, eg move to a planet, next turn unload, next turn move again.
They basically take the population to the closest planet and fill it up forst, leaving no room for natural growth.
I feel that they are a waste of time and don't work properly.
DON'T USE THEM>>>

Later in the game when you have lots of conlonies the minister comes in handy. It is a real chore moving population around when you have 50-60 planets.
