For what is worth:

When I call postgres function via JDBC, I have almost the same execution
time as when calling function from psql.

When I call SELECT COUNT(*)... WHERE... query from JDBC, I again have
almost the same execution time as when executing query from psql.

Postgres function takes around 200ms, and SELECT query takes around 2-4ms.
