Steve,
I'd strongly recommend Image Optimizer - particularly for jpegs (it allows
you to set an average level of compression for an image and then fine tune
it for different areas, reducing the compression for important areas and
increasing it for areas where image quality is less important). You can
download a trial copy from:

NetMechanic's GIFBot is a good web-based gif compression service:
