If you use topics to send commands to actuators, you will not have real-time behavior, but then again your application might not have real-time constraints. ros_control can be deployed in real-time systems, but the implementation of your robot hardware abstraction and the controllers you use must be real-time friendly. You must also use an operating system that can deliver real-time guarantees.
