Just to mention a very special case: page images into wikisource proofread extension, coming from djvu files as standard resolution jpg (so adding two levels of compression with related issues) .
Well, when djvu file comes from Internet Archive, it's possible ane relatively easy to get the URL of individual, original, full-resolution jpg or jp2 from IA item, then replacing the url of standard image with the url of IA image into the proofread page by javascript.I used a draft tool to do this as a test into a difficult proofreading, and it turns out effective, fast and useful.
