I'm not so sure about that Omaha. I'm not sure your giving enough weight to other variables that influence the speed of leveling. It's not just that you know how to play better than when you started, other people do as well.

A big time sink in classic was how much time was spent just trying to figure out where to go, how to get there, was it safe, looking things up on forums, etc..
Another factor is that people know how to maximize their respective classes more in each individual setting, as well as knowing what gear to wear and where to get it.

I know I have been in various "non-classic" groups using pets to tank, all caster kiting groups etc

From my experience these were less common in classic originally as people just weren't aware of the different possibilities other than the "holy trinity" groups.
