That is a problem of your own choosing. . . .

I find no such problem: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/dlaakso-srb1.jpg (on
1792x1344). But, that's precisely one reason why one chooses to use high
resolution, which is just one way to describe _high quality_. High
enough pixel count per character, which is what _high_ resolution offers
when appropriately configured, eliminates the jaggies. IOW, when you
choose to retain a default or similarly low resolution, you're choosing
to retain least common denominator low quality, with the jaggies that go
with it.

OTOH, if he was using a typical unscaled variety of header image instead
of the pure CSS he's using now, hires users would be seeing a tiny
little header image instead of what his design intends.
