I read Erik mentioned about Boxtop ProJpeg plugin. It really does produce much smaller jpg files compared to photoshop given the same compression levels. nice plugin.
There is a program called IrfanView. I've been using it for years. It's one of those "must have" programs. It's an image viewer, converter etc. and its free... by all means free... no ads no nothing.
anyway, where I'm going is that I made a comparison between the jpeg file sizes and quality.
I used the same image, reduced size, compression 60
Here is what I got..
First image is Photoshop 6.0 Save for web.
Fire size 46,893 bytes
