 This is a borderline bug in my opinion.

 At the moment there is no way for users to define the quality of
 automatically generated image thumbnails, which isn't so much of a problem
 for default thumbnails (indeed, it's optimised for such a size) but is
 terrible for users who modify the size themselves using the height/width
 options introduced with WordPress 2.5.

 Smaller thumbnails need higher quality or the compression destroys them,
 with the effects becoming worse as they get smaller. The opposite is true
 for larger thumbnails (some people use 640x480+ for thumbnails, especially
 in the case of photo/gallery sites), which need *less* quality or the file
 size becomes too big.
