Hello  Jürgen
which kind of compressed raster do you use instead of ECW (if you use
any..??
try

GeoTIFF TILED=YES COMPRESS=JPEG QUALITY=75 and overviews.

cheers

Has anyone worked with 12 bit jpeg compression for GeoTiffs ?

I did a quick test (i.e. un-professional, just by viewing the results...) and it looked very good. Almost indistinguishable from the original tif. And the size reduction is about 85-90%. Compared with ECW or MrSid (95% compression) that's pretty good. Much better than any of the regular compression options.
A specially compiled GDAL [1] can support reading and compressing GeoTiff to 12 bit jpeg, but the format is not well supported by other software, so this is a chicken and egg thing.
