Actually aren't the SQL views local on the server ? In any case my understanding of the indexed view is that the aggregate totals for example would be maintained dynamically by the database as the tables involved were changed. Hence, when you asked for those totals as part of a remote view *no* further processing would be necessary - much as an index knows a rows location without a further sort. If the remote view were asking for an aggregate value, the value would have to be calculated on demand.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
