I have a very complex view zinfoexp and running the view as:
SELECT * FROM zinfoexp  WHERE idmembre in (1,84)
take 2700 ms

So, I try another syntax:
SELECT * FROM zinfoexp  WHERE idmembre = 1
union
SELECT * FROM zinfoexp  WHERE idmembre = 84

and for me, two calls to my view takes a lot of time (may be x2) and it 
takes 134 ms !

How is it possible that the optimizer cannot optimize the IN as UNION ?
I have a database postgresql 9.3  freshly vacuumed

try

  SELECT * FROM zinfoexp  WHERE idmembre=1 OR idmembre=84

This will probably be even faster.

Also, the 2 statements of your's are not semantically equal. UNION
implies DISTINCT, see:

select * from (values (1), (1), (2)) t(i) UNION select 19;
 i
----
 19
  1
  2
(3 rows)

What you want is UNION ALL:

select * from (values (1), (1), (2)) t(i) UNION ALL select 19;
 i
----
  1
  1
  2
 19
(4 rows)

same numbers with DISTINCT and UNION ALL (construction of VIEW does an 
implicit DISTINCT).
