I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "performant".
I've heard the term used often. It means something like, "performs
well" or "runs fast". It may or may not be an English word, but that
doesn't stop people from using it :-)
If "google" can be used to mean "make huge amouts of money with a
product that is inherently flawed" then I'll happily accept "performant"
as an English word, regardless of whether the English variant is UK, US,
Australian, New Zealand, Soth African, Geordie, Glaswegian or any other :)
