When saving, were you asked to choose quality level? And if so, what did you choose? I suppose you took the best possible alternative, but anyway? Maybe the fenomenon is only apparent in a specific program?
When I save it does not ask me specifically if I want to select a quality level. I must have made that choice before I select to save. Therefore the images remained at 200 resolution throughout.

How did your image files change in size? (kB) That would be very interesting to know...
The bird photo in it's unaltered state was 1.54 MB
The bird photo after being saved 25 times, full image was 1.54 MB

The boat photo in it's unaltered state was 982 KB
The boat photo after being saved 25 times, full image was 981 KB

I tried something else here:

The first is the unaltered, the second saved 20 times.

I took the leaf that was unaltered other than having been cropped to forum size. I then took this smaller file and saved it 20 times. I thought that if it started with much less information it might make a difference.

The file started and ended at 41.1 KB
