Jpeg is a lossy format - not only is it not ideal for the original image on
those grounds, but the way the format works probably means that it is impossible
to render to a jpeg (since you would have to now the values of pixels not yet
calculated when writing to the format).

Just out of curiosity, and apart from the colour depth issue, wouldn't gif have
similiar problems?
