Visual token pruning has emerged as a pivotal strategy to alleviate the computational bottleneck in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), yet it frequently compromises the integrity of visual understanding in pursuit of efficiency. Existing methods face a fundamental tension: vision-centric approaches are susceptible to the attention sink phenomenon and operate in a query-agnostic manner, whereas text-guided methods often create an overly narrow focus, discarding essential background context and failing on ambiguous queries. In this paper, we propose CrisPrune, a training-free and model-agnostic method that reconciles efficiency with understanding by integrating visual saliency and text relevance. Specifically, we introduce intrinsic visual saliency with robust normalization to identify information-rich regions characterized by significant visual features. Simultaneously, we design dual-source text relevance to synergize explicit instruction alignment with implicit scene priors. Finally, we reformulate the selection process using a Determinantal Point Process (DPP) to balance token quality and spatial diversity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CrisPrune significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods. On LLaVA-NeXT, it achieves a 13 × decrease in FLOPs while maintaining 97% of the original performance with 94.4% of visual tokens pruned, effectively bridging the gap between efficiency and holistic understanding.
