How to estimate the upper bound of the peak memory consumption of cryptsetup itself?

Hi,
Recently, I notice cryptsetup itself consumes significant amount of
memory (~256M) when estimating the memory requirement for dumping vmcore
to a LUKS-encrypted disk,
$ time -v cryptsetup luksOpen encrypted.img volume --key-file mykey.keyfile | grep "Maximum resident set size"
Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 1309828
$ cryptsetup luksDump encrypted.img
...
Keyslots:
0: luks2
PBKDF: argon2id
Memory: 1048576
...
So is there a way to estimate the upper bound of the peak memory
consumption of cryptsetup itself without running cryptsetup?
Thanks!
