In 2.2, it's part of performer_data.asddata.data.

In 2.4, the names have changed:

   performer_data.data.asd Performer ASD Terrain Data
   performer_data.data.cliptexture Performer Clip-texture Data
   performer_data.data.sample Performer Sample Data

Of those, only performer_data.data.sample is installed by default.
This is to reduce the default disk space footprint of Performer as
it's installed -- the majority of IRIX systems worldwide don't need
tinyASD.pfb or the cliptexture files, for example, just people doing
Performer development & using the sample programs. We pretty much
assume our fellow Performer die-hards will "install *" the Performer
subsystems.

Have a look at 2.4, I think you'll be very pleased.
