rust: peek_mut optim for lazy ancestors
This is one of the two optimizations that are also
present in the Python code: replacing pairs of pop/push
on the BinaryHeap by single updates, hence having it
under the hood maintain its consistency (sift) only once.
On Mozilla central, the measured gain (see details below)
is around 7%.
Creating the PeekMut object by calling peek_mut() right away
instead of peek() first is less efficient (gain is only 4%, stats
not included).
Our interpretation is that its creation has a cost which is vasted
in the cases where it ends by droping the value (Peekmut::pop()
just does self.heap.pop() anyway). On the other hand, the immutable
peek() is very fast: it's just taking a reference in the
underlying vector.
The Python version still has another optimization:
if parent(current) == current-1, then the heap doesn't need
to maintain its consistency, since we already know that
it's bigger than all the others in the heap.
Rust's BinaryHeap doesn't allow us to mutate its biggest
element with no housekeeping, but we tried it anyway, with a
copy of the BinaryHeap implementation with a dedicaded added
method: it's not worth the technical debt in our opinion
(we measured only a further 1.6% improvement).
One possible explanation would be that the sift is really fast
anyway in that case, whereas it's not in the case of Python,
because it's at least partly done in slow Python code.
Still it's possible that replacing BinaryHeap by something more
dedicated to discrete ordered types could be faster.
