Using a custom function could be comparable to a pure SQL statement in performance. However,
sometimes function like this can hide details of the query from the PostgreSQL optimizer.  If this
happens you will see poor query performance.

What version of PostgreSQL are you using?

Your version of the query will need to look like this:

    SELECT A1.oid, A1.concepte, A1.deure, A1.haver,
           (sum( A2.deure )-sum(A3.haver)) AS value_sum
      FROM Assentaments AS A1
INNER JOIN Assentaments AS A2
        ON A1.oid <= A2.oid
INNER JOIN Assentaments AS A3
        ON A1.oid <= A3.oid
     WHERE A1.numero=11189
  GROUP BY A1.oid, A1.concepte, A1.deure, A1.haver
  ORDER BY A1.oid;
