QtWebKit is the underlying text rendering engine used by the Kobo kepub reading app (and other reading apps).

The descriptions from the 2 retired patches may help with understanding the 2 options:
  • optimizelegibility: Enables ligatures/kerning in KePubs, but may cause some additional rendering problems for fully justified text.
  • optimizespeed: Disables ligatures/kerning, but fixes some rendering problems that affect fully justified text in KePub

Basically you're choosing whether to render kepub text faster or "better". The latter being subjective, of course.
