Under the new system a CR 9 critter would give a 20th level character a much larger percentage of their XP needed to reach next level. CR 1: 75 under new system (0.0075% of the amount for next level)        75 under old system (0.375% of the amount for next level)CR 2: 150 under new system (0.015% of the amount for next level)        150 under old system (0.75% of the amount for next level)CR 3: 225 under new system (0.0225% of the amount for next level)        225 under old system (1.125% of the amount for next level) Under evildm's system, a 20th level party can gain a level by wiping out 266 CR 1 creatures (two tribes of CR 1/2 humanoids). The UA system requires the party to wipe out 13,333 CR 1 creatures to gain that level (100 tribes of CR 1/2 creatures). The first could be done in an afternoon. Depending on the world, the second one might not even be possible.</blockquote>
