I remember seeing a similar complaint in the 1.4 release thread complaining about memory usage, and when I compared my own Atom memory usage with a project with about a half-dozen files open and it wasn't anyhere close to that.

Wonder what's going on.

Same here, I use Atom for all my projects. Sometimes with > 10 files open at once. I've never seen it get anywhere that bad.

In that thread the issue turned out to be a .git-folder in $HOME
