The compression settings for the images was chosen as a compromise between 
reasonable website download times, available server resources and 
compression quality. For very simple images with only a few colors, the 
compression quality may not be sufficient indeed, but for high-quality 
anti-aliased images, it does provide really reasonable results over a large 
range of different images. This is the way JPEG compression as higher 
compression settings turns out to be. I am sorry you don't like it, but it 
is the way it is.
