Wow, I didn't know that is how experience is done in groups. So I forget the exact experience penalty/bonus per class, so forgive me if my exp mod is a little off. But in theory you could have a group of the following:

Using the 1000xp mob, 1100xp after group bonus.

Paladin (1.4 exp mod) - 1490 exp
Cleric (1.1 exp mod) - 1278 exp
Warrior (.9 exp mod) - 958 exp
Rogue (.9 exp mod) - 958 exp
Rogue (.9 exp mod) - 958 exp
Rogue (.9 exp mod) - 958 exp

But if I replace a Rogue with a Ranger the exp given for the same mob would be as follows:

Paladin (1.4 exp mod) - 1380 exp
Cleric (1.1 exp mod) - 1182 exp
Warrior (.9 exp mod) - 886 exp
Rogue (.9 exp mod) - 886 exp
Rogue (.9 exp mod) - 886 exp
Ranger (1.4 exp mod) - 1380 exp

So in effect, but replacing that one Rogue with a Ranger, you have reduced experience by about 7.5% per mob for everyone else that stayed in the group. I'm fairly certain that Ranger assuming equal skill and gear isn't going to speed up the killing by 7.5%.
