I'm not sure what you mean by 10/12 for a compression setting... However, in GIMP, I opened up a decent size jpeg photo and saved it about 13 times at 100% quality. I can't tell any difference at all. I've never been able to see any degrading in quality from editing JPEGs.
Some people say everytime you save the jpeg, the quality decreases. Others say the opposite. I'm not sure what to believe. All I know is I can't notice a difference.
10-12 is a jpeg/photoshop quality setting when saving. 1 to 12, 1 is the lowest.
When you saved at 100% in GIMP did you; A: make any changes to the file before saving? B: check the file size afterwards?
Everytime you save / resave a file in jpeg it does lose more information. Start out with a small file like 400x300 and you'll see the problem more pronounced.
