I value rendering speed over those features...

Personally, the rendering speed on the Kobo devices is fast enough that I'm willing to let it take a bit more time to give me the best rendered text it can. But...
Yes and no. Hyphenation can be turned off with some CSS in the books or reduced a lot by using the ragged-right alignment. And using ragged-right will probably be faster than fully justified text. The adjustable weight and sharpness depends on the font (sideloaded can't be adjusted without a patch). Kerning and ligatures depend on the fonts chosen. I have no idea if choosing a font that doesn't have these makes the rendering faster or slower.
I haven't tested any of that. As I said, the speed is good enough for me that I want the better rendering. But, I might do the test on the text alignment. I normally read ragged-right, so I should compare with justify and some long chapters to see if there is a noticeable difference.
