If subfloors run under walls, you have to consider where to terminate your cut as you will want to have good support under the seam. Always best along a joist. Not always possible.

Oh, the black crap will heat up and end up all over your sawblades. It will also have gotten soft enough fom being cut that it will get on your hands when you grab the cut edge to pull up. Cheap gloves are suggested.
Thanks! I'm 2 7-1/4" demo blades through the job, hoping two more do the trick. Those carbide teeth are no match for screws! At $15 a blade I wish they held up better
