The 'order by' statement is redundant since you use already 'group by'.
Furthermore you can speed up the query by creating an index on your
'group by' fields (in this case 'roba').

If one database is faster than the other depends on what you test. I've
read that PostgreSQL can be slow with queries that contain a group by,
although I did not experience such thing myself.
