It does, but only the very first time you run the application. The result of the transpilation is cached so it doesn't have to be computed again until the app is updated.

I do remember that I tried to use it to run the x86 Netscape binary for Linux on a surplus Alpha with RedHat Linux. It worked, but so slowly that a contemporary Python-based web browser had similar performance. In practice, I settled on running Netscape from a headless 486 based PC and displaying remotely on the Alpha's desktop over ethernet. That was much more usable.
Though only the actual binary size that gets doubled. For large apps it’s usually not the binary that’s taking up most of the space.
