The problem is that these extra big symbols come from METAFONT, i.e.  
they are included in PK format, which is a pixel bitmap format. Your  
Computer Modern fonts are already in PS format, so they look better  
at large magnification.

The solutions are either to convert the mathabx fonts to PS, or to  
try fourier.
