Rushing though the first chapters to rescue Imoen as soon as possible will result in trying to take a relatively low-level party through the Underdark, generally getting your butt kicked, and perhaps missing some very cool items or components thereof. Clearing out all of Athkatla before going after Imoen will result in a low-level Imoen, but so what? She's Dualed now, she'll get back up to where she should be soon enough.
