Sure - there will always be an overhead for window compositing, etc.
But the point of the article is the bloat as you open larger files, which gets much larger when you use a DOM to do syntax highlighting.
I have (and unfortunately still have to from time to time) open massive log files - in sublime / vi / nano they open fine (even with syntax highlighting), but even on my workstation Atom and Code fall over.
