Could probably configure it/optimize it for different apms (10,100,300,inf)

Could be interesting to see if it chooses different strategies based on that. What actions will optimize performance if I can only do 50 a minute

We've seen exactly this happen in competitive play. There was a player who would always play "Mech" Terran units, even though it wasn't the best strategy, because he had a lower APM than the Korean pros did.

And it worked for him, too.
