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)
