Also, how do you disable hyphenation, anyway? Do you replace the default hyphenation dictionary with an empty one somehow?

I also use optimizeSpeed. What I mean is that the epub renderer is capable of micro-justification, which makes the word spacing more even and less noticeable with fully justified, non-hyphenated text. The kepub renderer doesn't do micro-justification, and so the spacing between words might get rather large in some cases, if you don't use hyphenation. Especially on smaller screens.
I disable hyphenation in the book css (yes, every book; I edit them all anyway, so disabling hyphenation is only a very small additional chore). First I remove the code that's related to hyphenation in the css and after that I add the following to the body css:
Code:
-epub-hyphens: none;
adobe-hyphenate: none;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
