I wouldn't think that there would be an advantage to going more than a 3000ish engine rpm equivalent. Poking around trying to find evidence to support this theory I pulled out of thin air, it seems that most electric water pumps don't even flow half of what their mechanical counterpart would flow at redline. Also craigdavies site says it takes 8x more power to spin a mechanical pump 2x faster.
