How I got a list with data from MySQL in less than 1 second with a SQL VIEW - from an awful 20-25 seconds when going through relationships between multiple tables from the MySQL database.

This means that a simple list with 4 different fields can easily contain info from 4 different tables, where a couple of the relationships might span 3 tables. This made the performance in FM
