For a list of ~700 ids the query performance is over 20x slower than passing a subquery that returns those 700 ids. It should be the opposite.
e.g. (first query takes under 400ms, the later 9600 ms)
select date_trunc('month', day) as month, sum(total)
from table_x
where y_id in (select id from table_y where prop = 'xyz')
and day between '2015-11-05' and '2016-11-04'
group by month
is 20x faster on my machine than passing the array directly:
select date_trunc('month', day) as month, sum(total)
from table_x
where y_id in (1625, 1871, ..., 1640, 1643, 13291, 1458, 13304, 1407, 1765)
and day between '2015-11-05' and '2016-11-04'
group by month
Any idea what could be the problem or how to optimize and obtain the same performance?

This query executes much faster when I add a (redundant) JOIN that doesn't change the actual result set. This query runs at 20ms. About 4 times faster. As you maybe noticed, the only difference is just an useless JOIN on a table already JOINed (products).
Some of the tricks we used to speed up SELECT-s in PostgreSQL: LEFT JOIN with redundant conditions, VALUES, extended statistics, primary key type conversion, CLUSTER, pg_hint_plan + bonus.
Yes the number of columns will - indirectly - influence the performance. The data in the columns will also affect the speed.
No. view is just a short form of your actual long sql query. But yes, you can say actual query is faster than view command/query. First view query will tranlate into simple query then it will execute, so view query will take more time to execute than simple query.
The difference is a simple filter vs a hash join:
explain analyze
select i
from t
where i in (500,501,502,503,504,505,506,507,508,509,510,511,512,513,514,515,516,517,518,519,520,521,522,523,524,525,526,527,528,529,530,531,532,533,534,535,536,537,538,539,540,541,542,543,544,545,546,547,548,549,550,551,552,553,554,555,556,557,558,559,560,561,562,563,564,565,566,567,568,569,570,571,572,573,574,575,576,577,578,579,580,581,582,583,584,585,586,587,588,589,590,591,592,593,594,595,596,597,598,599,600);
