"Use the integer data-type (a special case of the atom) when speed and low memory use are important."

Clarification: In Euphoria, there is no size advantage to using a integer over an atom. Atoms which are within the integer range (and have no fractional part) take up the same amount of space.

This is incorrect.

Yeah, I was going to say this too, but I re-read Jay's post again, and he is correct though might benefit from rewording. Jay is saying that assigning integer values to an 'atom' variable takes up no more space than assigning it to an 'integer' variable.
