A view is just a stored query and has no physical part. Once a view is instantiated, performance can be quite good, until it is aged out of the cache. A materialized view has a physical table associated with it; it doesn't have to resolve the query each time it is queried. Depending on how large a result set and how complex the query, a materialized view should perform better.
