Used a view that is a join of 5 tables. There is absolutely
no difference between using the view or the equivalent select
from the tables directly in what -s prints as times.
There must be something else that causes the speedup
reported. Maybe another ordering in the qualifications when
using the view. The view qual's are added last to the
original queries qual. Putting them the other way round in
the query might produce another join order.
