Supposedly, it does. Quoting www.namesys.com:

  "We don't have fixed space allocation for inodes. That saves 6% of your
   disk. ... In my approach I store both files and filenames in a balanced
   tree, with small files, directory entries, inodes, and the tail ends of
   large files all being more efficiently packed as a result of relaxing the
   requirements of block alignment, and eliminating the use of a fixed space
   allocation for inodes. "
