Is there a better adjective you prefer to use to describe something that performs well?

Efficient and effective

Performant seems like a good word to use when you don't want to admit the performance was poor

I would probably say fast, efficient, high-performance, or optimal, depending on context. Or just "it performs well". But I recognise I'm in the vast minority - just one of those new words that bugs me now but I'll eventually accept
