Not much, Steve-o above is right!
You actually might stimilate crystallization sooner than expected by providing seeding points where your stir rod "rattles" the sides or your flask.

Nothing. If you added a solute, that would lower the freezing point. If you stir vigorously enough, the shear energy might add enough heat to delay the freezing, but the freezing point would be the same.

All liquids freeze at lower temperatures if they are in motion.
Take a river for example, the fastest flowing parts are always the last to freeze.

uniform mixing and disturbing a nucleation point for the freezing to begin.
