pmfrank:

Your bearing and rod side clearances are probably on the low side (tighter) of the scale, consequently the pump easily keeps up with requirements of gallies and bearing clearances. If clearances were greater, more oil would bleed off causing more of a fluctuation from idle to 2500RPM+. You're indicated pressures are ok.
