Is clearing crypt optimal?
Is the marginal risk incurred by exploring crypt worth the marginal boost to xp/character power that clearing the branch provides?

Other good levels to skip for this reason include Zot:1-4 and profane halls.
A hypothetical perfect player playing online probably still wouldn't do crypt or elf, because if there's anything that could cause an unavoidable death at that point, it's a player ghost with 8d21 fire storm, and the fewer levels you do the less likely you are to run into that ghost.
