There is currently a browser rendering issue with retina images in recent versions of Webkit browsers when viewed on non-retina displays that leads to significant image softening. Safari seems worse than Chrome.
The fix (sort of) is to add some page CSS until the developers fix this properly, so it works like FireFox.
I’ve thrown up a couple pages showing this problem. You can see it at http://www.sunnymede.net/css/ and then follow the link to http://www.sunnymede.net/retina/ for comparison.
