I've loosely tracked it.
For non hell levels and normal experience expect approximately 100 kills at 1% per at a decent experience point grouped, or 50 kills solo. If your killing solo and not getting at least 2 blue ticks/marks on your experience bar, then your not in the best spot per say. Then again, speed of kills is the primary factor because if you can kill 3 at 1% faster than 1 mob at 2% before your moving on, your obviously making more EXP in the time played with the easier mobs.
If your playing a race/class that has an exp modifier, then you need to factor that into your % vs time invested. Meaning if you need 64% more exp to lv due to your class/race combo, then your going to need to kill 164 mobs instead of 100... and so on.
Hell lvs will add about 80% most of the time in additional kills needed for that lv.
So... really for me it comes down to "How long does it take to kill 100 mobs?" Are you camping a point that will allow you to keep killing as fast as possible, or are you waiting on spawns? The more time you spend waiting, finding, pulling... the more time it takes over all.

This is why for me it's almost always a chain pulling group in a high spawn area that makes out the best exp. If you can find a group that has a puller who isn't waiting for the mob to die before bring in the next, and cutting down the wait for the kills... then your going to see the best exp. Killing the mob really fast doesn't help if your waiting 2-4 mins between pulls before you can get the next one dead.
