Added information from a comment into the answer as well as some more information about fixing jagged lines using other settings.

Saved my time :)
Feb 18, 2013 at 22:48 comment added lushness-deplete-gallantly Without knowing when the "jagged edges" are introduced it might be that his Document Raster Ëffects Settings are the source of the problem he has. There is also an Anti-Alias option in that menu as well. Some quick checking confirms that the Edit > Preferences > General > Anti-Alias option does affect the appearance of vectors on screen as you work with them. The Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings > Anti-Alias affects the art as it is saved to another (rasterized) format. But even with anti-aliasing a low resolution (72ppi) will be jagged even at no zoom.
Feb 18, 2013 at 22:22 comment added lushness-deplete-gallantly I was under the impression that it applied to all art. Since Illustrator has to rasterize all the art in order to display it I would assume it was running these anti-aliasing algorithms on everything. But that is simply my logical conclusion on the matter.
