Disabling SSID broadcast is a quick way of slowing people down trying to hack the network.

That's a debateable point - Kismet (a popular hacking tool), for one, will display all active networks whether SSID broadcast is on or off.
If a network is secure then leaving it broadcasting will help others in the area if they are trying avoid sharing the same wireless channel.
That's my 2c.
