Using explain analyze I saw that many of my queries run really fast, less than 1 milliseconds, for example the analyze output of a simple query over a table with 5millions of records return "Total runtime: 0.078 ms" But the real time is a lot more, about 15 ms, in fact the pgadmin show this value. So, where goes the others 14.2 ms?
Client-side latency, time spent transmitting query results, and network latency.
You'll see much less difference in queries that take more meaningful amounts of time. This query is so fast that timing accuracy will be an issue on some systems, and so will scheduler jitter etc.
