FWIW, I have an implementation of X448MLKEM1024, just no code point,
to associate it with.  Relative performance is not great, and (doing
my best impersonation of David Benjamin) until there's a workable
keyshare prediction specification, it would be very unlikey to get
used.

The numbers are from "openssl speed" which does not generate new keys
for encap decap, measuring just the time to perform these with keys
already on hand, but "encap" needs to generate an ephemeral ECDH
keypair.  which is why it is the slowest of the three.
