^^ i beg to differ

(times are with rocket pet and 3x base speed boost treasures)

1st  ruins at around 30s

2nd ruins at around 1m 30s

3rd ruins at around 2m 30s

4th ruins at around 3m 30s

1st box at stage 4 is right after 4th ruins at around 4m

reason to reset after 2nd ruins:

1) you complete 2nd ruins at around 2m, you either run another 2m for a box or reset for a ruins box (usually less than 2m therefore saving time)

2) using adventure cookie to stage 4 box is risky due to low health, or imperfect run especially lack of attention when farming, resetting for the 1st 2 ruins in the first 2 stages is easy to remember and less accident prone.

you can opt out for health givin pets / treasures, but at the cost of 3x speed boost treasure /pet for faster runs

3) depending on your pet/treasure setup, the 4th ruins right before the 1st mystery box varies in position, sometimes it is right before the mystery box, making it impossible to skip the ruins and go for the box. you end up entering the ruins and losing the box.

etc.

these are my preferences, feel free to farm however you like
