The default compression quality is configurable. The question is what do 
we favor by default: performance or quality?

Either you set the width/height limit to -1 or to a reasonable large 
number in the configuration or you specify the original image 
width/height in the image wiki syntax. Alternatively you can create a 
link to the original image with:

[[image:logo.jpg>>attach:logo.jpg]]

Note that image width/height limit are -1 by default in the standard XE 
distribution. Their purpose it to limit image width/height in wikis 
where users upload large images that can't be display in their full size 
on a web page (e.g. 3648 x 2736 px). In this case a link to the original 
image is enough.

Thanks for the feedback,
Marius
