I've been using Atom for the past several months. I was using Sublime Text 3 before.
This confirms my observations that Atom is both significantly slower and also consumes more resources. I mean, the numbers speak for themselves: It uses at least an order of magnitude more RAM compared to most of the others, and common tasks are up to two orders of magnitude slower.
At first I thought the issue was my old laptop. But now I see the benchmarks, I'm definitely switching back to ST3.
