I seem to be reading a fair number of articles which seem to
contradict each other on this...blah. Back in the day (wow, 10yrs
ago!) I recall being taught that joins were more expensive than
subqueries. Things seem to be more confusing now :P

Perhaps to sum things up more succintly for my question: Are the
queries comprising views handled any differently than a normal query?
