I poked around. I have two things to report.
1. Playing around with that hidden option did not improve things. I tried
options 0 1 2 3 and noticed no improvement: it always rendered sub
optimally.
2. I have noticed something interesting. The rendering depends crucially
not just on the zoom level, but also, for a given zoom level, on whether
the window is sized large enough to get the background color in the window,
outside the PDF page I mean. that is, the grey region in Skim. In
particular,
a. for a given zoom level if I resize my window the rendering suddenly
shifts when I go to a width that is larger than the page to one that is
smaller.
Larger:

Smaller:

as you can see all I did was use my cursor to reduce the width from the
right side of the window. The PDF displayed page did not move nor was it
resized. But the rendering did change significantly.
To be honest, both seem off to me, but the one where the window is smaller
than the page looks better---perhaps even how it should/used to be, I am
not sure really (still different than Preview). But the one where the
window is larger than the PDF looks really blurry (as in low contrast) and
blocky. Regardless, there is definitely a discrete change in the way things
are rendering as one moves the window size as described.
b. The same change happens if I click on "Automatically Resize". If I know
change the size of the window I always get a rendering that I believe is
identical (or at least very similar) to the "Smaller" above.
I hope this clue might help find where the issue is.
