Thanks for your answer.
It seems that my problem lie on the not use of Statement.setFetchSize
and the use of the heap.
In fact, it appears that when I select all the fields, it's very slow
but when I select only the PK it's already better. So it seems that the
driver is waiting for the whole data and, only then, returns.
I should investigate in that way.
Last question, I'm using pgAdminIII to perform my queries. I think that
I should have the same problem on the server side than on the remote
machine as it is using the same driver. Am I wrong on that point?
Thanks a lot

Is it really a "remote query" problem? Or is it just a difference
between using psql and JDBC? How fast is the query if you run it
"remotely" via psql? (psql -h server database)
GC is the most likely culprit if you are running with default heap
settings and a large data set. Without instructions to the contrary
(e.g. Statement.setFetchSize) the driver will try to pull the entire
resultset into heap before returning from query execution. Try turning
on -verbose:gc on your JVM and see how much time is spent doing GC.
You probably want to upgrade both your server and JDBC driver (assuming
you're using the 7.3-era driver) if you can. The 7.3 server is getting
quite old now, and there are a lot of bugfixes in the current driver
that aren't in the 7.3 JDBC driver.
