TII oil pump on n/a engine.

I´ve been thinking about some thing. Pump has fixed volume and flow is directly tied to engine RPMs - till pressure regulator starts bleeding excess oil back to the pan. So when we will fit bigger volume oil pump, we will hit regulated pressure in earlier RPMs but then, flow is very same, granted that we use same regulator.

I know that this is done regularly, but I think there are some misunderstands in flow, pressure etc.
