Thanks for your reply. I use DoFRenumbering with parallel::distributed::Triangulation and it works for me. I wanted to know why it was not used in step-40. Is it that the improvement observed vs the time taken for renumbering does not make it worth using it in this specific case?

For scalar problems such as the one solved in step-40, the order of unknowns really does not matter to the solver, but it may matter to preconditioners. It does not matter for the algebraic or geometric multigrid preconditioners we use for elliptic problems, so there is no benefit in step-40.

The only places where renumbering really matters is for advection-dominated problems solved with a preconditioner such as Gauss-Seidel or (S)SOR.
