too many items and large area?

I have sort of seen something like that in my games too, especially when I created a lot of items during early stage where I am clearing an area for the settlement. No matter how many stockpiles (for wood) i designated, they hearthlings always seem to have something else to do/haul. (they will haul if it is part of another job like crafting or building, but not to stockpile) But I ignored it and just continue playing and after some time, when they are idle, they will start to haul the wood.

No idea what is going on, but if I have to make a wild guess, it will be timeouts during path-finding(?)

Just makes me want to make a bunch of Farmers, they will do it all…even when they should be farming…
