Efficient? At least that's what 7 of 9 always uses... And who's going to argue witha reclaimed borg?

I would say that "performant" is a narrower term than "efficient", so no, the two don't coincide.

This whole argument is silly, of course. Natural language is so heavily overloaded that you could never regularize it in the way people seem to be proposing, and if you could, you would ruin it.
