...use 1.5 or 2 as Maximum retina density, also make sure that the Minimum retina quality is not a high number, as in larger than 50 (it doesn't need to be, see Retina ready demo). As a last resort, disable the Retina Ready feature. Do not disable TimThumb, else your thumbnails will be full-size images and consume too much memory....
...of GTmetrix would be spot-on. Bonus: Retina @4x example But even that scenario can have arguments for it, once you replace "non-retina desktop" with "high resolution mobile device".
