Without extensive samples, it's hard to say. Try making a 250 recipe on live at skill 1-50, and see how many times it skills up.

But people did experiments just like that. In fact, I even found one that was a couple years past the classic era where they had some new characters all try to trivial heady kiolas, but use different paths, and it seemed to show pretty clearly that (at that point in the game) the path where you picked closer trivials (ie. ones more likely to succeed) skilled-up faster. See "The Experiment: Do you skill faster staying closer to trivials?" in this
pdf (2004).
Tradeskillers have always put in a great amount of effort to figure these sorts of things out, I just can't seem to find any experiments like that one, but from the classic era. I don't think the problem is that they weren't done, I think it's that their results were posted in places like the tradeskill den site which didn't have its forum archived (there might be other ways to find them, but my web research-fu is weak).
