Yep, it works with jpeg compressed files. We do take a performance hit due to decoding just like MapServer (actually that was one of the first performance comparisons we made, back at the time MapServer had a bug that made it 4 times slower than GeoServer on jpeg compressed tiffs... that is fixed today as far as I know).
