  On the compositor, you are simply viewing a preview, meant to be... a preview, a fast image so you can view some transitions or effects you want to add.
  
  The final render takes more time to be processed, and it will try to make the best image given some premises like:
  
  * original resolution
  * scaling factor
  * scaling method
  * final resolution
  * compression
