Options for poorly performing SQL

I have a particularly egregious SQL statement that causes problems in my
production OLTP.  It's bad enough when only one session is running it, but
at times there may be 5 to 10 sessions running it.  Then I end up on a
conference call explaining the problem is the application and unless they
want me to kill customer sessions, I can't address the performance issues.

I have been trying for 5 years to get the development team to address it.
I have provided a properly coded statement that retrieves the identical
results yet performs about 95 percent faster with significantly less I/0,
along with trace data and explain plans of both the current statement and
the optimized statement.  They refuse to even look at the statement because
it is dynamically created in the application using javaScript.  Not knowing
javaScript, I'm not sure why it makes a difference.  Perhaps other
dynamically created statements would benefit from changes here as well.

Questions:  Do I have any other options to corral this statement?  I
haven't used profiles and will be reading up on them this week, but would a
profile even be a appropriate for this situation?
