in thread Gzip content-encoding and PerlMagick
As of 2008, JPEG 2000 is not widely supported in web browsers...JPEG is designed for photographs, so it's appropriate to use if your map has many color gradations, such as a relief map.
If you have a street map with lines and regions of constant solid color, GIF or PNG is likely better due to the lossless compression. Over-compressed JPEGs of this type of image look poor due to the artifacts from the lossy compression.
