This actually has nothing to do with our startup performance, at least on OS X. The comparison graph doesn't have a substantial impact on it. :)

Also, any similarities to Atom are superficial at best on OS X. We use WebKit (where Electron/Atom use Chromium) and most of the app is native code.

I'm less knowledgable about the Windows side, so I can't comment on it.
