performance analysis

Behavioral analysis is OK. In American English one can refer to how an inanimate object 'behaves,' but in this context perhaps it's better to talk about how the object 'performs' under a load.

agree Yuri Geifman : Mark may be right, but I would still relate behavioral analysis to psychology rather than engineering (and, IMHO, Multitran is a great resource but hardly an authority... they have almost as many mistakes as Lingvo 7)

I have not used Multitran, but from what I have seen of other people's use of it, I am inclined to agree with you about it.
