Short answer is that your images, especially the product images, are much too big (file size, not dimensions). Most of them are around 126Kb - they should be less than 10Kb. Optimizing the images will speed your site up considerably.

You are using the same image for large medium and small
Soooo... the small images are UGLY now.
They have the jaggies because it is the browser that resizes them.

Learn about using different sizes for large, medium and small
or install Image Handler and let it do it.

If you want to get rid of the jaggedness add this to your stylesheet

img { -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; }
