Atom becomes unresponsive after opening several JS files

Issue Description

If I open a bunch (between 10 and 20) JS files all at once in Atom, the program becomes unresponsive and after a few moments asks me if I want to force close or wait. Waiting for the program to become responsive never seems to work and Atom has to be killed.

This problem seems to be related to the linter-eslint package. If I disable only linter-eslint and try again, everything works as expected. If I re-enable the package and try again, Atom becomes unresponsive. Also, if I try opening a bunch of non-JS files (with all packages enabled), everything works fine.

If I disable linter-eslint, open my ~20 files, then re-enable the linter, everything seems to be fine. This issue seems to happen only when the linter is trying to lint a large number of files that are being opened simultaneously.
