Weird. I don't get that on my system. Memory usage (according to top) is somewhere around 200 - 300 MB, cpu usage runs somewhere around 25% of a single core (on an i7). The only time I get real lag on my system is when I'm opening a really, really large and minimized / mangled javascript file. Occasionally I get problems with the minimap or linters on very long files, but I have started regularly working with source files in the 5k - 10k lines range. I inherited and am refactoring and breaking down some monolithic stuff into more modular code, so there's a lot of tabbing around and copypasta in addition to regular coding, and atom's been responsive. The thing I like about atom is that there's a pretty robust plugin ecosystem already.
