<p dir="auto">Hi, i have used Textmate for a loong long time. But also as a big fan of new things, i decided to try Atom for curiosity purposes.</p>
<p dir="auto">It turns out that i found Atom a great platform for day-by-day development, and im using it Atom now. But theres one thing annoying me:</p>
<p dir="auto">I usually open Atom using the Shell command "atom [filename]", and compared to "mate [filename]" (the same command Textmate use for open files using Shell), Atom is incredible slow (i feel i have to wait twice of the time, like 1s~2s).<br>
I know this performance also is related to machine specs, processors, memory and etc. But its the exactly same task executed for different tools.</p>
<p dir="auto">I can record a video showing that behavior if you like.<br>
Also, if this is a un-prioritize known issue, i can submit a pull request if theres noone working on it. I just need to know where to start looking.</p>
