I would much tend to believe the problem was caused by your use of high iso which is not JPEG compression but internal camera noise amplified. Using high ISO also decreases dynamic range..
My personal feeling is that shooting in RAW is a needless waste of time UNLESS you are shooting in conditions which might require extensive corrections due to camera meter error. In that case you can use RAW or bracket your exposures. I certainly dont like all the extra fiddling around with the RAW adjustments and I challenge any one to tell me they can tell the difference between a properly exposed JPEG and a RAW file on any computer monitor. I use a NIkon D 90

Photography isn't a static process of standing there, snapping a shot and calling it a day for a lot of people. I shoot in RAW so I can manipulate the **** out of the picture if i want, which in my free time I do. There isn't one special way everyone is going to use, we all do it differently.
