I manage Atom at GitHub and I wanted to chime in here saying I agree! We're not waiting for hardware to fix this. My first PC was 386 running at 20 MHz. Modern hardware is insanely fast! Improving Atom's performance is positively a team priority. The overhaul of the display layer that shipped in Atom 1.9 represents a significant step down that path.
