Erik,
Have you tried removing the CALC field and doing a replace on the data after the cursor is complete? Calculated fields often slow SQL down. You can check it by removing it and seeing how the optimization goes.

Also, I'm assuming that IS a type in your WHERE line and your are linking Table1 with Table2 not adding a third table.

>I have indexes on the fields used in the join, and an index on table1.field1 > table1.field2.
>This view runs extremely slowly, and SQL Showplan shows that there is no optimization on either table.
