New issue 1979 by smichr: atoms can  use sets internally
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1979

Since atoms returns a set is there any reason not to have sets rather than lists being used internally so the list is not growing with duplicate symbols and so no conversion is necessary?

If not, this commit [to be announced momentarily] makes this change. Tests show that for a small number of terms (like ((a+b+c+d)**4).expand()) the list are 7% faster; as the number of terms is raise from 4 to 13, the set becomes 25% faster.
