Executing a single action per inference ($N=1$) enables accurate robot control but comes at the cost of huge compute time overheads, making real-time implementation infeasible. On the other hand, executing longer action horizons before replanning ($N\gg1$) reduces compute complexity, but inevitably degrades the system's success rate. In order to improve the VLA accuracy-complexity tradeoff, this paper investigates Mamba's selective state-space modeling as an alternative to causal self-attention within the action expert of the popular SmolVLA model, widely used as a reference model for its highly accurate yet low complexity nature. We evaluate both the Mamba- and Transformer-based experts on the widely-adopted LIBERO benchmark suites across three execution horizons $N\!\in\!\{1,25,50\}$, respectively corresponding to high, moderate and low compute complexities. Our results remarkably show that the advantage of the Mamba expert increases with the execution horizon, indicating significant success retention under long execution horizons $N = 50$ and $N = 25$. When $N = 50$ actions are executed before replanning (i.e., corresponding to feasible real-time deployment), the Mamba expert outperforms the Transformer baseline by $7.8\%$. In addition, when $N = 25$ actions are executed before replanning, our Mamba expert outperforms the Transformer baseline by $3.7\%$. Finally, under per-action replanning ($N=1$), our Mamba variant matches the Transformer-based mean success rate while significantly reducing the overall model parameter complexity by $24\%$ thanks to Mamba's compute-efficient nature.
