+- Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
+ untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
+ reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
+ on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

- Issue #5512: Rewrite PyLong long division algorithm (x_divrem) to
improve its performance. Long divisions and remainder operations
are now between 50% and 150% faster.
