It apparently does, though it my experience it doesn't remove even 10% of the points, so it wouldn't account for the difference (though I did mostly worse case areas with a lot of detail). Incidently the simplification seems to try to minimise changes in lengths which seems wierd, I would have though preserving area was more important. I tends to (in my experience) convert small squares to triangles half the size.
