Abstract
Efficiency and performance are important concepts that involve improving the operation of the SAS software and your other programs. This chapter presents basic techniques on tuning a SAS program. You’ll learn valuable tips on performance planning, CPU, I/O, memory, storage, and best-practices programming approaches to make your programs perform better. Space constraints prevent me from doing more than whetting your appetite on this topic—there are entire books written on the subject of tuning, and you should consult them for more minute details on this important aspect of running your software.
