It is, testing on a >6mn piece (Endless, Nameless from Nirvana's
Nevermind, 6:21) using flac 1.2.1 on OSX 10.6 I get the following:

71495116 base.wav
54517574 level-0.flac
53440982 level-1.flac
53159360 level-2.flac
50965333 level-3.flac
49735714 level-4.flac
49437135 level-5.flac
49427599 level-6.flac
49411090 level-7.flac
49281659 level-8.flac

sizes in bytes, the flac file names correspond to the flac "compression
level" flag, everything else left stock.
