Maybe the pool hass thousands of addresses in its database and now its going through this list, ordered by address, and is paying out their shares. With many thousands of addresses in the database this might very well lead to 100 addresses starting with "1K"
Edit: What I find more interesting is that this pool seems to have no minimum account balance required to trigger the payout, I would be very interested to find out what pool this is, so I could join it with my slow CPU miners.

Really? Gr8 !!
@Joel: Thanx !

But how likely would it be that the recipients would ALL have their addresses start with the same prefix of "1Kr" 
...issuing New Icelandic Króna backed by Bitcoin.
Where is the economic sense of paying to 113 recipients in one transaction?
It's not unusual with pooled mining.Quote
I could come up with an idea to these two aspects: Probably the tx has not been generated by the GUI client but by a command line or RPC client. And, maybe, it is a mining pool paying out all the fellow miners in a single efficient transaction. Smart.
That is possible.Quote

This probability is ...um... zero.
I agree. My bet is that some entity specifically generated those addresses to have that prefix. This would mean that all the accounts that were being paid had their private keys generated either by the same person or by different people using the same non-standard software. This probability is ...um... zero.
Perhaps the responsible party will explain it in this thread. Perhaps not.
I am trying to make my daily advancement in Bitcoin knowledge and got stuck again. 
Trying to understand the blockchain a bit better, I stumbled upon this transaction here:

Looks like this is 1AZUP.... spending some of his/her hard earned bitcoins. But there are three things I do not understand.

And how would one generate such a transaction?

So this is not the correct interpretation.
So what is the correct interpretation here ? What is the deeper mystery of things going on here
