The savings in CPU usage increases as the subset grows larger because the I/O increases.

The savings in CPU usage decreases as the subset grows larger. However, placing the subsetting IF statement at the top of a DATA step always uses fewer resources than placing it at the bottom.

The savings in CPU usage remains constant as the subset grows larger. However, placing the subsetting IF statement near the bottom of a data set is preferable.
