Here's another variation that improves performance in your interactive session while still creating ODS output: use the ODS NORESULTS and ODS RESULTS option.

ODS NORESULTS will prevent interactive applications like SAS Enterprise Guide from adding/opening the ODS output automatically. The output files are still created, but you don't incur the overhead cost of downloading/opening the results within the application. This reduces the "clock time" of the process. This is documented in SAS Note 14468.
