* The option ``sort_voters`` in ``Profile`` and related classes (such as ``GeneratorProfile`` and its subclasses) is
now False by default.
* ``Rule``: accelerate exact IM, UM and CM (generic exact algorithms for ranking-based rules).
* ``RuleBaldwin``: accelerate counting the ballot and computing the winner (especially useful for exact UM).
* ``RuleSTAR``: accelerate TM.
* ``RuleICRV``, ``RuleIRVAverage``, ``RuleSmithIRV``, ``RuleTideman``, ``RuleWoodall``: accelerate CM.
* Improve the management of options in ``RuleExhaustiveBallot`` and ``RuleIRV``. In some (common) cases, it accelerates
the computation of related voting rules (``RuleCondorcetAbsIRV``, etc).
