I'm not sure why some folks think a partially closed outlet line makes a pump work less hard. If you put a kink in a hydraulic line, does the hydraulic pump work less now? (I know, I know - give it enough time, and yeah - It won't work at all.)

The pump has no mechanism to recognize when a valve is partially closed, so it will always try to produce max flow.
