Alot of it comes back to the Visual Basic virtual machine I think. It behaves differently on different computers, which drives me absolutely crazy.I think I know what you mean with too much NRG per cycle for the veggies. Looks like setting the 'Population Control' level on the 'General' tab from 50000 to 5000 makes the program stable. So far so good. But that sounds awful lot of energy. I don't know how cells work, but whouldn't something between 1 - 20 per cycle be more realistic? How fast does cells in the real world pick up energy/sec anyway? :P
Be sure you have the right settings files for your version. I've noticed that the program behaves really weird if the veggies get too much nrg every cycle.
What puzzles me right now is that the 'Decay Rate' on the 'Corpse Mode' doesn't seem to work. Also I found some veggies and bots get frozen in "mid air" when I'm playing in 'Pond mode'.
