yes, but it _greatly_ depends on the options you specify.  IE how many times a
move
must be played to avoid tossing it out as "rare".

And when you build "enormous" you had better have 2-3 gigabytes of free space.
While
the building/sorting stuff is going on, the disk space requirement is very
large.
