What happened to the consumers in the first graph?

Memory allocation takes time. When a queue has consumers that nearly 
keep up, as in your second graph, then it grows very slowly and hence 
the rate of memory allocation is low. Therefore such a queue may be able 
to process publishes at a higher rate than an equivalent queue with 
now/slower consumers.
