The concept is very simple really. Linguistic competence is what you actually know about a language, and linguistic performance is how you actually use it. So if you make grammatical mistakes, but you know they are mistakes, then your performance does not match your competence. But if you don't know they are mistakes, then your competence matches your performance, and you are probably not native.
For example, in looking at the unanswered wiki questions close to this one:
How does pneumonia fit into Maslow theory?
If the questioner just made a type and knows that a native English speaker would say:
How does pneumonia fit into Maslow's theory
then his or her performance does not reflect his/her competence. If the questioner doesn't know that this is a grammatical error, then they lack linguistic competence in English.

What is the differences between competence and performance?
Chomsky separates competence and performance; he describes 'competence' as an idealized capacity that is located as a psychological or mental property or function and 'performance' as the production of actual utterances. In short, competence involves "knowing" the language and performance involves "doing" something with the language. The difficulty with this construct is that it is very difficult to assess competence without assessing performance.
