  Not really, The real savings come from the fact they're easier to
change.

  A few years back I was working in a large building and my section
was getting completely redone. (50ft by 200ft). I talked to our
manager about why they didn't put up walls/offices. He said cubes
were a little more then walls/desks, but easier to install and 
later make changes.

  I'm just glad that my current job I get an real office, to 
myself, with a locking door and a window (looks over to the county
dump, but it's better then nothing...)
