Just to make it clear: this is important and high priority, for all of
your PHC finalist formats.
Also, please add an output line showing the per-instance memory size, as
derived from the cost settings being benchmarked. E.g., this would have
printed "192 KiB" (or the equivalent in bytes) for your Lyra2 benchmarks.
