In The Chrysalids are there quotes from David about when he became self-aware that he was a deviant?

In Chapter 8 of The Chrysalids, after David's Aunt Harriet is found dead, clearly having killed herself after having produced a third child that had some "mutation," David begins to worry about himself, coming to an understanding that he is a deviant, too.  He prayed, saying,



....please, please, God, let me be like other people. I don't want to be different. Won't you make it so that when I wake up in the morning I'll be just like everyone else....



David talks with his Uncle Axel after five nights of praying to no avail, and he shares with his uncle what has happened to Aunt Harriet and the baby, which had completely disappeared.  He understands that the baby was taken because it was different, and David, of course, is different as well.  Uncle Axel assures him that he will never reveal his secret or the others', but that David must be very careful to never let anyone else know about his mutation, an ability to communicate with others through thoughts alone.  As David and his band of "mutants" grow closer together, he does not forget his concerns, but he does seem to set them aside for at least a little while.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
