Apparently it's the engine itself that is very limited and cannot cope with the AI. There isn't a great deal they can do but apparently it's been further worked on for the next release.
I'm a huge fan of the AI in ICW and I can still find it challenging; they have made it work on a GC with either close to or over 100 planets with multiple active factions.. very little to no lag with that mod, so it can definitely be done.
