Comment (by nosilver4u):

 Indeed, as Adam and Roy have both said, 100 quality isn't doing what you
 think it is, and is a really bad idea. For perspective, the file size can
 increase over 4x when going from the default quality 82 to quality 100. If
 you really want to push the quality, go with 90-92. Anything beyond that
 is just wasting space. Here's some further reading if you like:
