I'm not really a fan of this "ultra high res" idea.
I prefer uncompressed images over high res jpg images. It doesn't make too much of a difference in quality anyway:
Distant Sunset (jpg, 2048*2048*6, zoom factor 8)
Newsky Asteroids (tga, 1024*1024*6, 4 times smaller in overall image size, zoom factor 8)
Anyway, the image-quality of textures should not be measured by resolution.
(Sorry for the deviation)
With all due respect I completely disagree based on experience. If you have a look at the first and last revisions of space elevator http://alienTRAP.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5896
the early one had 1024x1024 tga pictures, 11Mb (if were jpg maybe 1.5Mb)
the last had 2048x2048 @ 95% quality pictures, 3Mb
there is a clear difference in quality with the 2048x2048 being much better with and without being zoomed on.
