Oh, the logic is sound, every element that we have inserted has to be popped,
We are spending some *extra* time in rearranging the elements only to be
sure that we won't be spending more than this *extra* time when doing other
operations, and our use-case isn't much different either, If by rearranging the
elements in the heap(*subheap*) gets optimal for other operations like
popping the
root element(heap[0]) then obviously it is optimal for popping other elements
(children of heap[0]).


PS: @sven But don't yet merge the pull request, I could be wrong.
as the heapq module already says that the variance is very small,
let me write some tests(on more than 10**3 elements) and then get back here.
