There are two different issues involved here.

(1) The control mechanism of the current version is still in
preliminary form, and needs a lot of work to handle a large knowledge
base. Before the logic part becomes mature, I have little time on
control.

(2) Even when the control part is finished as planned, the system may
still not be what you want --- After all, NARS is not designed to
achieve the best performance in a specific problem. For that kind of
situation, a special purpose system almost always works better than a
general purpose system.

Therefore, if you are only interested in using NARS for your project,
it may be better to only use its logic part (the inference rules), not
the control part. For a specific application, it is usually possible
to find an algorithm, which is more efficient than the
"non-algoristic" manner of NARS.

For the future of NARS, there is a plan to separate the logic part and
the control part more clearly, so other people can only use part of
the system for various purposes. For instance, if the Prolog version
of NAL (http://sites.google.com/site/narswang/implementations) is
further developed into a stand-along inference engine, it can be
easily integrated with various types of control methanism.
