I only a newb but I have to agree big time. I was stunned at how much sharper my pics were when I just saved to jpg from raw without any adjustment compared to what my 450d kicks out as high by default.
I turned off raw for some stacking and forgot to turn it back on for pics and now don't have raws for that session. Now I bought more memory and turned it back on.
One more link that has been a major help for me, especially in understanding sharpening, clear examples.

No WB for stacking
This never even occurred to me, thanks for that gem Rik
