Yes I have done a little, in this thread. The post above and wiki page are largely correct, but there are some unexplained aberrations in my experience. His points all still hold true, just know there are some quirks. The experience calculator I cite in the OP was developed by Naez and presumably uses the formula everybody thinks the server uses for XP.
Anecdote:
55 enchanter(my brother) and 53 ranger(me) are grouping together, fear kiting snared mobs with a hasted/DW charm pet. Enchanter complains about slow xp (he doesn't know what slow xp is). We check it out with a test session (making absolute sure we are both in range for every kill, and that everything was DB to both of us) and the ranger's experience moved roughly twice as quickly. We never group again with those chars because enchanter feels robbed, and I end up shelving my ranger til Velious. QQ

Very interesting. The reality of our situation was the opposite of the skewed figure: http://i.imgur.com/BBJeNMd.jpg
It still doesn't seem to match those numbers

Further testing with a non-charm, non-pet duo would indicate whether this is a bug in xp rewards with charm pets, like maybe his pet is stealing his xp.
Pretty much everyone just takes that wiki page as gospel. I have seen one other test involving a troll and a cleric duoing together from 0 xp but I don't know where it is.
