Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
It is difficult for me to understand the meaning of various values of
meanSpeedLAMMPS/meanSpeedYADE since they depend on both LAMMPS and YADE.
Could you give raw times?

I understand that something is transient physically but it doesn't seem to mater really in terms of speed. Why do you think so?
For instance 2000 spheres give (3rd column is speed):

The transient aspect of it is not obvious... I don't think it explains
our different conclusions.

For 200 spheres:

10000 0.134928915733 85606.0606061 0.457 0.0
20000 0.269857831466 18590.9408551 0.9 0.00123066523288

Still no clear trend after 20k.
The ratio of final speed is ~11 for a ratio in numbers of 10. Still close to linear.
Unless you have a sudden decrease of speed after 800k iterations I can't reproduce or explain your results.
How many cores do you have in total?
Did you try verlet=0.5*r for 2k spheres? You timings suggest that the cost of virtual interactions is excessively large and could be reduced by running the collider a bit more.
