Big World Setup conundrum

in BG:EE Mods
Hello!
I am a huge Baldur’s Gate fan, having played through the entire series 3 times and sorely lack any new games that measure up to this masterpiece. I have modded the game quite a bit the last two times but was a bit apprehensive about trying the enhanced edition of the game.
But as I embark upon my fourth play through I hear reports saying that the enhanced edition is up to snuff now, and the big world setup makes it VERY attractive as it has automated a very tedious and time consuming process of reading about installtion orders and installing each mod manually. However, I have encountered one conundrum when using the BWS and so have a question:
Why is the default recommended setting to halve all XP gain from completing quests and killing monsters?
Is there some new XP balancing in BG:EE I am unaware of? I play without a level cap and have every intention of importing the character to BG2 once I’m done so if someone can clarify these confusing default settings regarding XP in the tweak packs I would appreciate it. Most of the quest mods I will play with now I played with last time as well (No big quests, just several small ones)
I like to push up the difficulty overall through most of the choices from sword coast stratagems and don’t want to gimp my XP development, especially not in quest completion so I will turn off the decrease, but would like to hear people’s opinions.

The less that mess with the scripts, the more stable the game will be in my opinion.
