Peak live heap, CPU path -N10, before -> after: 4nwv scaling 14.8 -> 11.9 GiB, analyses 13.5 -> 7.3;
8qaw scaling 34.0 -> 27.1; 9v16 17.2 -> 13.5; 9zlo/9gjx/9s02 7.7/7.4/8.9 -> 6.3/6.3/7.5. With the
budget of a 16 GB machine, 4nwv validation 18.4 -> 10.8-12.3 and MR ~17 -> 12.5. GPU 4nwv 16.2 ->
14.8. Byte-identical to its base on GPU and --no-gpu (timing standard + inhouse, 4nwv/8qaw/9v16/
lyso_x06da_ref/cytc_x10sa), at the machine's budget and with a 16 GB one. Conflict in
RugnuxScaleMerge.cpp: perf-8gb-cpu's card-byte declaration of the merge and this branch's host-budget
decisions on the post-refinement and the all-observation arm, kept both, in that order.
