Would a SELECT of the original tables using just the required columns help? or it wouldn't make any significant improvement?Or maybe a view limiting the rows I need before I use the query on my SP?
Whenever possible you should only select columns of data that you actually need. It is hard to tell what this all doing without spending a bit of time digging. If I get some time I will dig deeper and see if I can find anything that might help.
Why the NOLOCK hints everywhere? This looks like some sort of claim system, just the type of system where dirty reads would be considered a bad idea.
