Yep. The line that disturbed me was the bitmap index scan with a cost of
"actual time=254.143..254.143". I was more looking for something like
"actual time=0..254.143" which is what I usually have for an index scan.
So I suppose that the bitmap index scan returns rows only when it's
totally computed.

Thanks for your help.

Regards.
