my jpgs are around 7mb, being compressed to 200kb by wordpress. using this plugin
I still find my pictures are still compressed to about 2mb by wordpress. So I cannot
say this plugin works properly unfortunately. Please let me know if I am using the
plugin wrong

I normally don’t rate plugins but felt it was necessary to warn others about wasting
time and potentially encountering problems with this one. It sounds simple enough
and is supposed to be very light weight. That may be true but the core function 
of this plugin is to prevent WordPress from applying the standard 10% compression
to uploaded jpeg files. That not only didn’t happen but it actually increased the
compression rate to 20%. I would normally uninstall and leave it at that but I submitted
a detailed ticket (with examples) and asked if there was anything that could be 
done. A week later and not even an acknowledgement. The only reason I rated it 2
stars instead of just 1 is because it appears it works for some people.

This plugin simply works. and the developer provides quick support. there are no
settings just activate and the default wp jpeg compression is disabled.
