Sorry I have no idea about this. I have not changed the algorithm
in the PCO and I have not changed the compilation options. The figures
you give for computation times are consistent with the results I have
obtained.

The Chi2 distance can be computed with the "Triplet to Distance" option,
and the Jaccard distance can be computed with the "Binary Dissimilarity"
option (with coefficient number 1). You can also use the Clusters module.

Yes, this is a bug. I am going to fix it soon, but I'll have to update
all the modules (sigh !).
