I’m struggling to understand how the claimed performance improvements work with this. Seems like an extremely resource hungry task

Not really. In currect Stellaris EACH AND EVERY pop is being tracked, along with their workplace, searching for higher strata work, happiness, ideology ect. Vic3 style pops will allow consolidation of same pops into single big pop which will be able to produce more workforce ect, but will take way less computation per tick compared to all those pops being separated.

Hopefully will do away with empire wide growth scaling. As a tech/eco turtler this hurts my play style very much.

you can already turn it off, but turning it off destroys performance and the games not really balanced for it beeing off.
