I did try it on my laptop, but not for long enough to hear the fan running. However the CPU does go pretty crazy just using Chrome on my laptop, so I fear it'll do the same with Atom.
It's definitely slower than Sublime Text 3, but not by much and it's a pretty high bar.
How much slower? Slower doing what?
It feels snappier to me at everything except for opening large files, but it's a beta – it's to be expected.
The framerate is visibly slower on drag to select. Opening a window takes forever.
The two major improvements for me are package management, and actual support for making GUIs.
