lose exp at lvl 1 here.

If you do in fact lose exp at lvl 1, it's such an insignificant amount that it doesn't even register. I've been running Savok's Vert UI for a long time and one feature of that UI is adding an exp bar to the window with your HP/Mana/END. It also adds a percentage value to that bar and I am 100% certain that at levels under 5, that value does not decrease on death. So if you are, as you believe, losing exp regardless of lvl, it's less than 1% per death. At lvl 5, that changes and IIRC, you lose ~6% exp per death.
I believe that fast corpse decay ceases around lvl 5 for 2 reasons:
1) I've left a lvl 5 corpse on the ground on purpose as a holding place before I had bags.
2) I generally move by holding down both mouse buttons, so I accidentally click on alot of junk on the ground. I've unintentionally tried to loot many many corpses in the newbie area and EC tunnel that returned the system message " This corpse will decay in x days, x hours, x minutes. If a lvl 8 corpse decayed in 24 hours or less, there would be alot less corpses, and alot more posts in the forum about it.
