leveling and difficulty setting

So I played through the original Kingdom of Ehb compaign. Did it in normal mode. Character was just shy of level 50 at end. NPCs in party were roughly the same.

Played Legend of Aranna campaign on hard mode, aside from two or so boss battles. Character was level 24 at end. NPCs in party were roughly the same.

Started Ehb again, this time in Hard mode. Got as far as the snow-covered city, Glacier-something. No characters are more than level 10. One is level four. Switched to easy mod. Bam: seemed every minute someone was gaining in a skill or in dex/str/int.

It seems as if leveling is slower in hard mode than in normal mode. Can anyone confirm this?

I'd always thought that a harder mode meant that the monsters do more damage, you do less damage, and you get more XP per kill (or rather, per use of a skill).

p.s. not using any mods save for the seefar loa camera mod
