 <ol>
+  <li> <p> Improved: The <code
+       class="member">DoFTools::compute_Cuthill_McKee</code> function
+       needs to build a sparsity pattern for its operations, and uses
+       the <code
+       class="member">DoFHandler::max_couplings_per_dof</code>
+       function for this. However, the estimates returned by the
+       latter function are rather bad in 3d, leading to excessive
+       memory allocation in the Cuthill McKee algorithm in 3d. This is
+       fixed by using an intermediate compressed sparsity pattern
+       instead if we are in 3d.
