Is the "Mem" column saying that lzham used 4800 megabytes vs gzip using 1.6 megabytes? If that's so, it makes lzham much less attractive for console and mobile

Is the "Mem" column saying that lzham used 4800 megabytes vs gzip using 1.6 megabytes? If that's so, it makes lzham much less attractive for console and mobile games. If that could be reduced to 8 while still being faster than gzip, then it would be very interesting.
For anyone publishing compression benchmarks: Please, please include memory usage in the report! Very few reports bother to do so at the moment. Meanwhile, many compressors take the assumption that since 16 gigs of RAM is cheap these days, that means using a few extra gigs to get a speedup is totally reasonable. It may be reasonable for you, but it makes the algo useless for me.
