Best option for quicker fights is not to give enemies less health, but to up the damage globally.

Basically download this, use FO3Edit to change the multipliers to be even, and make the XP gain what you want it to be. It's just 3 GMST settings.
GMST (fDiffMultHPByPCVH) - this is player's damage, set it to 3
GMST (fDiffMultHPToPCVH) - this is enemy's damage, set it to 3 as well
GMST (fDiffMultXPVH) - player's xp, set it to 1 for normal levelling, or 0.25 for really hard leveling.
Then set your game to "Very Hard"
This simulates most of what FWE does in the damage areas while still keeping the game mostly vanilla in all other aspects. Headshots are fatal now. If you've ever played Deus Ex, it's "Realistic Mode"
Given that the player is a bit tougher than NPCs, you might even set fDiffMultHPToPCVH a bit higher than that, maybe 3.5 or 4.
