The descriptions from the 2 retired patches may help with understanding the 2 options:

  • 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.
Just a quick note. This will have no effect on ePub as that uses RMSDK and does not use webkit.
