Answer BOT Step limit

I have reached my limit!  Well not me personally, but the Answer BOT has.  It seems there is a 2000 step limit, in total, that you can have.  Each of my Answers take 18 steps, some a couple more, some a couple less. 

I am told the reason for this is speed and efficiency, and more than that it will cause performance issues.   It would help to know what kind of performance issues. 

We need somewhere around 3000 steps to in order to implement the BOT.  With out that, its a non-starter for us.
