up to about lvl 16 sure. But as mobs get harder so does the need to sit and regen hp because they hit a lot harder. Sure the fungi will help a lot. But a necro kiting yellow con mobs and medding while agro kiting will out xp a melee easy.

Well, for one thing, he didn't say a uber twinked melee out exps the necro, he said it's not as exciting, since the caster does the same damage no matter how much you twink it, whereas the melee can be doing OMFG RAPE damage relative to it's level.
Past that, as someone who has recently leveled a necro into the 50s and very recently leveled a monk to 50, I firmly believe that my monk was leveling much MUCH quicker than the necro. However, I do think the monk had the 25% exp bonus going and the necro didn't, but the monk was leveling much quicker, so it probably balances out about the same.
Uber twinking just doesn't do as much for casters as it does for melee. Obviously it's a huge help, but just doesn't have the same effect, though there are exceptions. For example, if you have a Rod of Annihilation on your necro, you can melee for 120 at level 20. Using that and a Tola robe will give you an insane DPS boost.
