The question was asked by a DPE during a check ride, his example was that if you come to work and you have to take a customer out or transport a load you could quickly establish how much power you need versus how much power you have available,
I guess the bottom line is, you don't wanna have a customer sitting for half an hour waiting for you while you do all your performance calculation just to tell him: sorry the flight can't be done.

I told him the same, doing it while on the helicopter, but he told me a way to do it with the hover chart and a calculator, sadly the check ride went on pretty quickly and I didn't have time to write it all down nor to remember exactly how he did it.
