By default, SAS^® 9.1.3 will poll a child process to determine whether the process can be terminated. The default timeout value is 50 milliseconds. On some UNIX systems, this value may be too small and may introduce performance problems. The hot fix associated with this SAS Note changes the default timeout to 100 milliseconds. This may improve performance.
