Note that:

a): You'll get the same thing by just issuing \sloppy at the beginning of your document, though I usually define a \notsosloppy command that does not take such drastic measures. Using the microtype package will also help incresing the quality.

b) Even if the hyphenation points are found, lots of hypenated words degrade the quality just as much as underfull boxes...
