I dont think you can prove this unless you rerun with a substantially different dmg/sec weapon and measure by Ytime rather than per Xped run.

You win the award for first post over 1 MiB.

As with most things in EU, there are multiple factors to skillgains. One factor is the kill bonus, so that killing small mobs (at least certain small mobs--and it may be it's a special type of mob, not the size, something i haven't tested) gives more skill gains per PED output, but there are practical limitations due to acquisition time and avoiding enormous overkill. Another factor is obviously how many shots you take, and (probably) the tt value of each shot. I'm guessing that the size of the gain is partially proportional to the output (tt), and the probability of a gain is fixed so that you get more chances with more shots.

I can verify from my own records the above--I can get more skills/PED output from small mobs but get them faster by blasting huge amounts of ammo at bigger mobs.

The results of a very limited number of hunts, Laser Sniper (Hit) profession total volume gains/PED ammo:
small big
0.028 0.008
0.028 0.009
0.028
0.031
0.029
0.023
0.026
0.025

Average
0.027 0.008

Note that this isn't quite right due to heavier amping and weapon decay of the small mob kills relative to the ammo burn. The difference is far more than can be explained by that, though.

I am keeping better records to compare straight across for total output tt vs. skills but don't have enough data recorded or the comparator finished.

what do you want to prove ? That spending 600 K ammo a day gives a lot skills ? There should be no doubt about that point

Personally I use Norton Antivirus corporate with micro-definitions, it picks up all threats out there, as per rule, every Anti-Viral research lab must submit any newly found viral/malware into an international database now along with any remedy action that they have produced to remove the virus/malware within 24-hours of it being released into their own product.

So your relatively safe with a product from any of the major viral/malware protection product suppliers.

One thing though for those whom are looking to keep on the leading edge of viral/worm/trojan/rootkit/malware protection is to keep an eye out for the lastest product coming onto the market offering auto-protection and removal/quarantine for the above mentioned is a new product developed by SunBelt ... developers of software and application tools for high end corporate solutions, though this will be available in the form of a home user license also is a product endorsed by WindowsServerNews called Vipre Antivirus & AntiSpyware. It is in it's final stages of beta now and is due for release in the near future.

Here is the writeup from WindowsServerNews ..

VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware Public Beta Invitation

Well, we're getting close. The VIPRE public beta has been released. It's an exciting time for us. Over the last few years, we have been building an all-new security solution. VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware is a completely new product that combines antispyware, antivirus, anti-rootkit and other technologies into a seamless, tightly-integrated product. With its next-generation technology, VIPRE provides powerful protection against today's highly complex malware threats, without the performance and resource headaches of traditional antivirus products. At VIPRE's core is an antivirus and antispyware detection engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single efficient and powerful system.

The new technology was developed exclusively by Sunbelt, without building on older generation antivirus engines. We are looking for Beta testers that are willing to run VIPRE on a machine that's not 'mission critical'. The complete invitation and how to get your hands on this beta sits as the first item in the Server Section. Why Server? Well, this is the same code that will be the agent of VIPRE Enterprise and we'd love your help finding and crushing the remaining bugs!
