Comment (by rcurtin):

 With some changes to how the bound is propagated in r13955 through r13959,
 the following numbers are produced:

  * jl-constructed cover tree, jl dual-tree traversal: 83962 (as before)
  * jl-constructed cover tree, mlpack dual-tree traversal: 98201 (used to
 be 247537)
  * mlpack-constructed cover tree, mlpack dual-tree traversal: 112039 (used
 to be 189628)

 We have some improvement, but I believe jl's implementation makes a few
 more opportunistic prunes than our implementation currently does.  So this
 isn't quite done yet.
