I just came across a website with some articles on image sharpening, it
seems to be well written (though I haven't read it all yet).
This is the link to the intro:

But don't forget that it's all relative to display size.  f/22 works for
that image since the output size is little more than 1 MP.  The full
resolution of the E-M5 should support a large wall print of 18.4 x 13.8" 
at 250 dpi.  Blow your original image up to 100% and you'll see where the
resolution is missing as it most certainly is.
