Morphology

system + performance

The meaning is directly compositional: 'system' (a set of interacting components) combined with 'performance' (quality/efficiency of operation) yields the efficiency/effectiveness of the system. This is a literal and cross-linguistically common noun-noun combination, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will reliably infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

System performance comes from the image of a system, a group of parts, and a performance, how well a show runs. Think of a machine on stage: its 'performance' is how fast it is, how often it fails, and how much power or memory it needs, so the phrase means 'how well a system works'.
