Ok, I know what it means, annoyed by the Anglicism here. Means processing time is short, right?

yes, you're right
in my opinion it should be "können sich sehen lassen" or "sind vorzüglich". In English, I would opt for "presentable".

Actually, you could simply leave "performant" (it's used both in English and in German).
My suggestion above is a bit of an interpretation, but it might fit your context.
Daten- und Kommunikationstechnik Englisch-Deutsch : performant adj (Dp) / performant adj (von Systemen: leistungsfähig, schnell)

This is not an anglicism, it's a francocism (to coin a word). Properly, it means 'high-performance', but 'high-performance processing times' is geek English (to my taste). If your larger contest supports it , you could say somthing like 'super processing times', 'ultra-short ...' etc.
