Over compress?  The normal, and only really valid, practice with black & white 
documents is lossless compression, where that term has no meaning.

There are those who don't understand that JPEG is intrinsically unfit for 
bitonal material and line graphics of any kind.  If you're dealing with the 
output of such, then you may indeed have "overcompressed" material.  But I 
believe the people here all know better
