i understand that its better to reduce activites on the critical path..but that's about it?

If an activity costs $0 to crash, then crash it.
If an activity falls on the critical path and is within the bounds of your spending, crash it.
If an activity is outside of the critical path and won't alter the overall time/cost, do not crash it.
