After pulling the latest changes up to commit a988a38c, I did reset
BENCHMARK_LENGTH back to 0 to get these numbers.

On one of my systems (i5-4570 CPU (4 physical, 4 logical cores, AVX2
build), the difference for --costs=2:2,2:2 is hard to notice.
For --cost=0:0,0:0, it is 1.3%, for --costs=2:2,0:0, it is about 0.5%,
for --costs=0:0,2:2 it is about 0.25%.

On my laptop with  Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU (4 physical, 8 logical cores,
SSE2 build), I get a 13% difference for --costs=0:0,0:0.
The difference is about 9% for --costs=2:2,0:0, or --costs=0:0,2:2, and
for --costs=2:2,2:2 it is about 8%.
On this laptop, I tried to use short --test times, to avoid throttling
So I used several runs of --test=1, but I'm afraid that throttling
interfered nevertheless.

After resetting BENCHMARK_LENGTH to -1, I get results for "Raw" that are
similar to the "Many salts" case in my previous tests with
BENCHMARK_LENGTH 0.
