I can literally hear when my coworkers have IntelliJ open. People are here griping about Atom's memory use, but using 1GB of memory is an order of magnitude better than obliterating my battery by pegging my CPUs. No thanks.

To be fair, Atom isn't to friendly to the CPU either, especially when it's loaded to the brim with plugins!

When does IDEA do that?

I use it every day and not experienced what you are describing.
