For the curiosity, I ran "convert input.jpg +profile icc output.jpg" 400
times in a loop. Well, it seems that even this simple operation re-codes
jpeg since every image was a bit different. The same applies to "mogrify
+profile icc image.jpg".

It may be safer to use e.g. exiftool to remove the ICC profile from
image without recoding:

$ exiftool -ICC_Profile="" image.jpg

I believe exiv2 could do similarly.
