I don't like taking practice swings constantly, but with so many guys quick pitching with men on base and without balks the game simply kills enjoyment at the very moment things should be fun.

Sad thing is that practice swing doesn't even register half the time unless you "quick practice swing" yourself.

I'm all for reasonable implementations for making game time shorter, but turning off balks is not it. Balk was implemented to slow the online game down exactly in those situations where people exploit the shortcoming, so I don't really understand why it's turned off.
