Somewhat off-topic, but I was wondering if you could explain something about your phrasing. This is a serious question, not snarky. I think I've been out of the loop on this one:

What do you mean by "most performant"? Is there some meaningful difference between that phrase vs. "fastest"?



"Performant" is basically just a buzzword but I've always viewed it as encompassing a bit more than "fastest" - something like "most efficient in real world use".
