Grammar question from this non-native English speaker: does it sound right to say "you can quickly develop performance AJAX applications"? Wouldn't you say something like "high-performance AJAX applications" or "highly performant AJAX applications" (or just "performant AJAX applications")? It seems to be missing something.

"Performant" actually isn't a dictionary word, there is sort of a debate about it's use:

the way they are using it seems like their spell checker just changed the word from "performant" to "performance"
