SKs, and evil races in general, typically avoid Crushbone due to the faction hits to Indigo Brotherhood.

I'm a Dark Elf and I grinded the hell out of CB. But then again I also took the time and went out of my way (and in fact am still working on this) to raise my faction with the "good" races and plan on going back to Neriak, Grobb, and Oggok and killing later. So I suppose I don't count lol.

I can say that unless you're a Dark Elf warrior though don't worry about killing in Crushbone unless you REALLY want to maintain that faction. Reason being, Indigo Brotherhood, near as I can tell, only contains the Dark Elves in the Warrior's guild. There may be a straggler NPC or two but I have yet to run into one. The caster's guilds are The Spurned, the Necro guild is The Dead, and the guards all fall under Dreadguard Inner and Dreadguard Outer. Unless you're a warrior, or need to make forays into the Neriak Arena, killing in Crushbone won't affect you that much.

It WILL kill that faction fast though. From my starting point of, I wanna say, Amiable I went to max KoS in under 20 minutes.
