Raj,

I'm working with some quite intensive macros, and the code using
compiled macros runs quicker.

Reading macro code from text file...

NOTE: The SAS System used:
      real time           18.69 seconds
      cpu time            6.51 seconds

Running with compiled macros...

NOTE: The SAS System used:
      real time           14.66 seconds
      cpu time            5.43 seconds

Hi
Is there a significant improvement in the performance when using
macros as pre-compiled vs having them referenced by SASAUTOS= option.

Any expert comments?
thanks
Raj
