I did machine / hydraulic design before I retired, GPM x PSI divided by 1714 gives you the HP required. Flow is going to vary with rpm but 10 GPM at 80 PSI is only about .5 HP. Even if the pump is only 50% efficient it's only 1 HP. I've never measured the pump flow but regardless I don't see the HP being significant.
