Why is the first query using a parameter ($1) while the second one uses
a string literal? Have you executed them differently?

And what plans do the queries use?

We're talking about a 600-800 ms query - even if you cut it to 1 ms, I
don't see how this would do a difference in a batch-style job.

If you're doing many such queries (with different id_article values),
you may do something like this

select caracteris1_.id_article, sum(quantitest0_.quantite_valeur) as
col_0_0_ from dm5_quantitestock quantitest0_,
dm5_caracteristiquearticlestock caracteris1_ where
quantitest0_.id_caracteristiquearticlestock=caracteris1_.id
group by caracteris1_.id_article

and then query this (supposedly much smaller) table.
