And just creation is about 3x faster:

(report
  (timings 1e7
    (do (volatile! 42) nil)
    (do (atom 42) nil)))

; |                   :expr |     :time | :ratio | :perc |
; |-------------------------+-----------+--------+-------|
; | (do (volatile! 42) nil) | 22.849963 |    1.0 | 31.63 |
; |      (do (atom 42) nil) | 72.237439 |   3.16 | 100.0 |
