It's still kind of bad. Just try opening up a minified JS (or any kind of large file) file and watch your Atom become unresponsive for 5 minutes.

I just downloaded the latest minified production release of ember.js and it took Atom less than a second to open it on my Machine (2014 rMBP).

Opening it up and trying to edit it/move around are two different things. Try to scroll to the end of it. You'll break Atom either the line will just randomly stop or you'll freeze your Atom.

Sure but that's not a common use-case and won't affect people who want to use Atom as a day-to-day code editor.

But it is a use-case. I always have to keep Sublime Text around for the times I need it.

I wish Atom would prevent me from opening such files, as an option. I sometimes accidentally open large minified files and have to wait.
