Below I will post the VIEW and a sample of the query's EXPLAIN ANALYZE. Thanks for any tips/help/clue-stick-beating you may be able to share!

This query looks incredibly expensive:

   SELECT
...
   FROM
       customer a,
       history.customer_data b,
       history.customer_data c,
       history.customer_data d,
       history.customer_data e,
       history.customer_data f,
       history.customer_data g,
       history.customer_data h,
       history.customer_data i,
       history.customer_data j,
       history.customer_data k,
       history.customer_data l
   WHERE
       a.cust_id=b.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=c.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=d.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=e.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=f.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=g.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=h.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=i.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=j.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=k.cd_cust_id AND
       a.cust_id=l.cd_cust_id AND
...

I would refactor this significantly, so that instead of returning a wide result, it would return more than one row per customer. Just do a single join between customer and history.customer_data - it will run much faster.
