Jared,
At least with O8i, that's true in about 60-70% of the time. I have found it
better to use subqueries instead of joins when that's what you mean. In some
cases the optimizer can eliminate a sort step when using sub-queries instead
of a join and other times it processes less data.
Sometimes an IN subquery is faster, other times an EXISTS subquery is
faster. The point is, you have to try the query all 3 ways.
In this case, I suspect that a subquery will be much faster than the join.
(Because of the rownum = 1 restriction)

Why change it to subqueries?
The optimizer will just turn it back into a join anyway.
