To Join two tables so as to optimise the performance of our QlikView data model

Why do you use join in QlikView or Qlik Sense? For the same reason as you do it in every serious BI solution:

Less tables = higher performance.

Yes, QlikView can handle a normalized data model, as long as there is not too much data in there. Once you start running into performance problems, optimization of your data model is the first thing to do.

Please do some investigation about star-models in BI solutions.

May you live in interesting times!

We are not using join in data model.

We may use join in the script to combine two (or more) tables into one.  Why - usually to optimize the data model.  (That doesn't mean of course that any join makes your data model better.)
