Here's a perfect example of an over-sharpened over-compressed image that would compress better w/o the sharpening... You can see how the sharpening has produced a "double" line/edge that follows her contour -- this doubled-edge produces even worse .JPEG artifacts... My bet is that a sharpening filter was applied in the camera so there's really not much you can do about it other than get a different camera...
