I used SAS 9.4 in a laptop to run some simulation studies. At beginning, the program runs very fast, just keep running and running. After the program ran for several hours, it become much slower. For example, at beginning, it will take the program 2 hrs to finish one simulation scenario, but it may take two days to finish similar scenario some time later. I checked the log and found that SAS will stop for several minutes and do nothing after it finishes one simulation data sets, then it will continue. Any ideas about what happened, and how I can resolve it? Thanks for the help.
