Dear SAS We have recently installed SAS on our company network(we use a VM set-up with multiple users on the server - we use SAS analytics pro (not SAS server). mainly Base SAS and EG are used). The run-times are extremely slow. see log: NOTE: There were 24868185 observations read from the data set PREP_CUR.BOOK_201606. NOTE: The data set SUMM.BOOK_SUMMARY_201606 has 2038 observations and 7 variables. NOTE: PROCEDURE SUMMARY used (Total process time): real time 3:49.17 cpu time 13.99 seconds I noticed that the CPU time is much faster than the real time. can you perhaps tell what the issue might be by looking at the run times? we also find that if 4 users run code at the same time the speed slows down even further. My gutfeel is that the computations happen fast (CPU time), but then something is happening to make the overall process very slow. Do you have any suggestions on how we can speed up run-time? Regards Conrad.
