Need EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
I suspect this is due to a cached query plan. PostgreSQL will cache a
query plan for the SELECT the first time you run the function and that
plan will be re-used. Depending on what data you call the function with,
you could get a very different plan.
Also, you might do better with a JOIN instead of using EXISTS. You can
also make this function STABLE instead of VOLATILE. Likewise, if
FN_FIRMA_ISVISIBLE can't change any data, you can also make it STABLE
which would likely improve the performance of the query. But neither of
these ideas would account for the difference between function
performance and raw query performance.
On a side note, if OR $1 IS NULL works that will be more readable (and
probably faster) than the OR COALESCE($1,0)=0.
