Default oil pressure

I have a problem that has just plain stumped me, when im sitting still like at a light, my oil pressure is low. But then when i give it gas it raises, and the more gas the more it raises, i doesnt get too high. It eventually evens out. Could this be a oil pump going bad? The car has done it for 4-5 months, and i dont have any problems out of it. Any suggestions?? Thanks, Jeremy

the oil pump spins faster as revs go up will make more pressure.
