Problem at like levels 3-8, especially in EC/FP area is a lot of things either become green/light blue or yellow/red so you're stuck killing a crapload of smaller mobs (which isn't necessarily bad for your first toon, since that = more loot) but you get significantly more exp from something closer to your own level. It's somewhat better in other leveling areas. Gfay (Crushbone, belts/pads quests) or Qeynos(Blackburrow+gnoll fang quest) are the quickest areas to get to level 16, even 20 IMO.
The balance between what you can fight efficiently (see: not take too much dmg/create downtime) and the xp the mob gives will change as you level. As melee that curve starts to suck (less so for monk) earlier than it does for casters. And for mage/necro/drui/shm/enc, it pretty much stays flat your whole career as they can solo db/white/yello for the majority of the leveling process.
