IMHO you don't use a bg img that big. Maybe a bg img that's 1280x1024 or something close, compress the snot out of it with a lossless compression tool and use background-size:cover; with an acceptable fallback for browsers that don't support background-size. Of course, this is only for desktop.
At the very least, set up an MQ for a min-width of 4k so that monstrous img doesn't get delivered unless someone can actually use it.
