A Plasma Vision draft

[Jens Reuterberg]

On the one hand I fell in love with the word "nimble" (We have to do something 
cool based on words like "nimble" and "swift" one day - I don't know what but 
I will bribe you till you do it Sebas, we can't let those two words get to 
some marketing department somewhere)

On the other David has some good points - "performant" although fiddly is a 
better word I think.

Also this thread is GOLD - keep the critique coming everyone I am taking notes 
like paper is going out of style.
