Republish iWeb 1.0 sites to reduce image load times

PNGs and JPGs both have their place. They compress images differently.
PNGs (and GIFs) compress well for simple, geometric graphics. PNGs don't blur any lines, they stay perfectly rendered. That's why the PNG worked well for a desktop screen grab.

JPEGs were designed for photos. They do a good job of showing complex pictures, but give it a straight line and you'll see it become fuzzier the lower the size (hence quality) of the JPEG.

You can get away with everything being a JPEG as long as you keep the quality high, but you pay for that in file size.
PNGs do a good job, quality wise, of showing photos but with a pretty high tax on size. JPEGs are def. the way to go for photos.
