Yes, any sub-select in the Select expression list will be executed many times. To fix this, you
will need to reform your query by pushing this sub-select down to the from clause. Also you will
need to add clau_compte to the SELECT expression list of both sub-Selects

SELECT <your expression list>, Summed_assentaments.delta_sum + Initialvalue.starting_sum
FROM ( <your first initial sub-select> ) AS Summed_Assentaments( oid, concepte,deure, haver,
delta_sum, clau_compte )
INNER JOIN ( <your initial value sub-select> ) AS Initialvalue( starting_sum, clau_compte )
ON Summed_Assentaments.clau_compte = Initialvalue.clau_compte;

I hope this can help to improve query time.
