When set on recirc it is drawing air from the cabin, cooling it, then replacing it back in the cabin. The fan does not have to work against the increased cabin pressure, its job is easier, and as a result it can run faster. I know in my truck when the A/C is set to get outside air its output increases if I crack the window open.
