no...the view is simply inlined into the query (think C macro) using
the rules. You just bumped into an arbitrary (and probably too low)
limit into the number of tables the planner can look at in terms of
optimizing certain types of plans. It's the first thing to look at
when you add tables to a big query and performance falls off a cliff
when it shouldn't.
