The effect you mentioned comes from the tendency of TeX to cast all badness
into one really awfuly bad line. You can use
\sloppy or better
\tolerance=9999 % nearly sloppy, but still allow only for finite sloppyness
to prevent this effect.

Another possibility is to set the new parameter of TeX 3.*, \emergencystretch,
to some positive value. If your experiments with \emergencystretch give good
results, please report them. There is not ery many experience, with this
parameter upto now.

Yours, J"org Knappen.
