Why not eliminate the orignal high quality jpegs altogether? Use 
imagemagick or your favorite photo batch processor to convert all the high 
quality jpegs to low quality jpegs.

Say you have directories images/print that contain 300dpi images and 
images/screen that contain 100dpi images. Then you can use:

\setupexternalfigures
     [directory={images/print}]

\startmode[screen]
\setupexternalfigures
     [directory={images/screen}]
\stopmode

Run with context --mode=screen to get low-resolution images.
