Every properly functioning oiling / hydraulic system produces more pressure than it needs.
Now the question is, "is it better to circulate the excess without dumping it in the crankcase?" Then there is the issue of excess oil in the crankcase that must be scavenged. Every drop of oil placed in the heads flows into the crank case and that oil can cling to the rotating parts (windage) reducing performance.
