Large code rearrangement to use better algorithms, in the sense of needing
substantially fewer array-element compares. This is best practice as of Kntuh Volume 3 Ed 2, and the code is actually simpler this way (although the key idea may be counter-intuitive at first glance! breaking out of a loop early loses when it costs more to try to get out early than getting out early saves). Also added a comment block explaining the difference and giving some real counts; demonstrating that heapify() is more efficient than repeated heappush(); and emphasizing the obvious point thatlist.sort() is more efficient if what you really want to do is sort.
