Yup.

(A much larger gain is to compress .el files at install time.  Since
they're usually installed in a read-only location users can't edit them
anyway, and thanks to auto-compression-mode Emacs can find them without
problems.  In Debian, this resulted in a size decrease of about 28MB.
But this is obviously very system-specific and not desirable by
default.)
