view::pre_execute function core/modules/views/includes/view.inc Run attachments and let the display do what it needs to do prior to running.
hook_views_pre_execute function core/modules/views/views.api.php This hook is called right before the execute process. The query is now fully built, but it has not yet been run through db_rewrite_sql.
views_plugin_pager::pre_execute function core/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_pager.inc Perform any needed actions just prior to the query executing.
views_plugin_display::pre_execute function core/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_display.inc Set up any variables on the view prior to execution. These are separated from execute because they are extremely common and unlikely to be overridden on an individual display.
views_plugin_exposed_form::pre_execute function core/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_exposed_form.inc
views_plugin_display_extender::pre_execute function core/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_display_extender.inc Set up any variables on the view prior to execution.
