Now this was one test and I have not had time to test it anymore so it might be something else. I know they are not "upsizing" as you say so that is not the issue.

To come back to this issue, I figured out a potential cause to this while working on someone else's slider who was having similar issues. The problem is, if you don't take into account the borders of the slider, and size the image to the size of the slider as specified in the StyleVars, then the image is actually being resized slightly, resulting in a "blurry" or lo-res image. On the user's site I was working on, it ended up that if the slider was sized 12px wider than the actual image, then it would look exactly how it does outside of the slider.

With that said, how the slider handles images will be overhauled in a future release, as I have come up with some further ideas on this, which hopefully will result in better performance as well as better looking images. I don't have a timeline for this fix just yet, but it is definitely in the planning stages.
