On a per-dollar basis, science today is many orders of magnitude less productive than it was a century ago. I have a paper in draft I can email you.

Frankly, a draft of that paper would be far more interesting than this post itself. I'm curious what your metric is. Denominators is dollars, and numerator is what?

Email my username at gmail.com, and I'll send it to you.

ADDED: Now online here. Please leave comments there if you have any. It looks like you can't do line-by-line comments on a Word document in google docs, though.
