I find this rather surprising, considering the fact that a properly
tuned database will return queries over millions of rows and multiple
joins in milliseconds, given the proper hardware.

I can see how a datawharehouse with terrabytes of data can make use of
them, but that is hardly a common situation. It seems to me many of
these people clamouring for materialized views would be better off
simply using a proprer data structure (and taking a few SQL courses).

Am I misguided?
