Well, compared to Atom, yes. Two somewhat similar tools with trade offs between them, one of them being speed.

Note that Atom is written in Javascript, so the run time is extraordinarily CPU heavy. Even though many Electron (Javascript desktop framework) apps may have snappy UIs, they're typically even worse than Java for CPU (battery life, etc).

btw: Sublime Text is written in C++, so the performance might be even better than Java.
