SAS performance is improved because
SGE files are created only when you use the SGE=ON option. When the
ODS LISTING destination is closed or when SGE=OFF, SGE files are no
longer created. (In the past, you issued an SGEDIT ON command in the
SAS Results window to configure SAS to create editable graphs. This
setting persisted across SAS sessions, so SGE files were always created
until you issued an SGEDIT OFF command.)
Note: For backward
compatibility, ODS Graphics Editor continues to honor the SGEDIT ON
and SGEDIT OFF commands.
