My original comment is below but, this is the solution that worked for me. I haven't tested the solution at length, but I did see an immediate improvement in performance.
I went into 'packages', and disabled any Git package.
Since applying the recent updates of atom and proto-repl, I am finding my IDE fairly unusable on account of its slow response.
If I try to delete, or comment out, a line, it delays by about eight seconds.
Selecting to open a file from the sidebar, can take twelve seconds!
Changing to, or closing, a pane can take 8 seconds.
I even applied an update of atom-linter, today. I couldn't tell whether it was working or not - each and every graphical response was delayed by ten or more seconds. That includes applying the update, the stripey effect, the restart all message. It is unworkable for me.
I have re-installed Atom, with no effect.
Beyond the recent updates, which I could not avoid, I have no idea what is occurring.
