Improving startup time in Atom with V8 snapshots
I'm way more worried about memory issues while running. Atom take up 1 gig+ with very little open. It pushes all my other tools out of RAM and into swap. Switching to the browser to see documentation takes a few seconds if I'm lucky.<p>Compiling a few more seconds to page in. Ssh a few more. Everything on my laptop slows to a crawl as they fight for RAM with Atom taking up the way more than it should.<p>I know the answer, "buy more RAM it's cheap", from the Atom people, but then my browser people tell me the same thing. So do my interface people, and my kernel people, and by the time I say "okay" to all of them, I'm out of RAM again.<p>Application need to learn they aren't the only thing running. For some reason, my machine seems to be getting slower and slower no matter how much I upgrade.
