<p dir="auto">I'm using Atom on Linux Mint 17. Whenever I open Atom, I noticed my HDD led blinking like crazy. iotop shows atom is doing a lot of disk reads:</p>

<p dir="auto">As soon as I close Atom, everything gets back to normal (iotop shows 0.00 B/s as total disk reads, as opposed to something around 12 M/s with atom running). I tried disabling all 3rd party plugins I downloaded but it did not help. Is there anything I could do to help investigating this issue?</p>
<p dir="auto">When I start atom for the first time I have a very high disc io. I've started iotop and found 4 apps running:</p>
