Does it mean "fast" or "efficient" or something else? Both those words are shorter and more widely understood.

- IsaacSchlueter 17y agoIt means that something "performs well". The specific criteria of performance depends on context. Both "fast" and "efficient" are more specific than performant, but are related concepts. Note that "speed" and "efficiency" are also often related, but not quite the same thing. They fill a different linguistic need. Performant is pretty widely understood, in my experience.
