You could run it from a dedicated pump at lower pressure to get the speed you want and transmit all of the power you have available.

What I think he alluding to is that if you try and run everything off of one pump, each item you activate will take a certain amount of fluid.
If you want a constant flow, you will have to use a priority divider circuit, or several pumps.
If you are try to do multiple things at once, your timing may be off on critical things.
An engine can drive multiple pumps, like one feeding the saw motor, and the other the splitter, log lift, conveyor, etc.
GPM's determines the speed of operation, so if one component takes half of the fluid, the other component will slow down, etc.
You probably want max speed on the splitter cyl and the saw.
No, some of the grounds keepers machine, use three or four pumps piggybacked on a single shaft.

A pumps flow and pressure will dictate the HP required to drive it to full capacity.
