Does converting to FileVault2 require >50% free disk space?

Does converting your entire drive to FileVault2 requires to have more than 50% of free disk space? Is it copy-and-convert like FileVault1?
Or is it different and can convert drive to encryption without copying everything to a new partition?

Not to sound coy, given that Lion has just released. Why not try it yourself and report back.

Not to sound redundant but if I could try it myself would I be asking the question?

Good question. I'm curious as well.
