150K per-picture limit: enough or not?

[Igor.Burshteyn]

My experience is a mixed bag - it's usually enough for pictures that don't contain vignettes and are not packed with details. Yesterday I downloaded to my gallery scan of shot which exhibits visually perceivable quality degradation when compressed to 150K.

I usually crop to 800x600 and compress with jpeg quality factor 9-10 in order to get to 150K area. This time it was ~400K compressed as I used to, and I had to compress it with jpeg quality 4 (!). Result? jpeg artifacts all over the picture.
What is your experience?

Many gallery photos recently look very degraded.
