@scottalanmiller: "Performant" isn't actually a word and, as far as I know, is not listed as such in any legitimate dictionary. The word has been used a lot lately and is now part of common vernacular. It will likely find its way into the dictionary soon though.

Pretty sure that that has been a word for moving picture films for a long time now.
