Are selects defined in view faster than run-time selects?

    Are selects that are defined as views faster than normal selects? I am asking this because I have a big select where I retrieve data from multiple tables. Is such a select going to work faster if it is defined as a wiew. I found nowhere in literature that views are speeding up selects but I recently heard such an opinion.
