 * Great question!
 * Both plugins aim to solve the same problem, but there are some subtle differences.
 * The other plugin started with a completely different approach but in version 
   2.0 copied what this plugin does with using PHP files for storing translations.
   However, Performant Translations goes a step further and uses an entire new translation
   library to make things even faster and use much less memory. A variation of this
   library is now being prepared fir direct inclusion into WordPress core itself.
