Removed unnecessarily heavy RAM usage from logs in bench/test.py

For long running processes (testing with >1pls) these logs can grow into
multiple gigabytes, humorously we never access more than the last n lines
as requested by --context. Piping the stdout with --stdout does not use
additional RAM.
