Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _rename_aggregated_columns

The optimization avoids unnecessary pandas rename operations by pre-filtering columns and short-circuiting when no renaming is needed.

**Key optimizations applied:**
1. **Pre-filtering columns**: Instead of passing the entire `rename_map` to `df.rename()`, the code now builds a filtered `col_map` containing only columns that actually exist in the DataFrame and match the mapping keys exactly.

2. **Early return optimization**: When no columns need renaming (`col_map` is empty), the function returns the original DataFrame immediately, avoiding the expensive `df.rename()` call entirely.

**Why this leads to a 24% speedup:**
- The original code always calls `df.rename(columns=rename_map)`, which internally checks all DataFrame columns against all mapping keys, even when no matches exist
- The optimized version eliminates this overhead by performing a lightweight pre-check using Python dictionary lookups (`if col in rename_map`) and only calling `df.rename()` when necessary
- From the line profiler, the optimization shows dramatic improvements in cases with no matching columns (4000%+ faster) while maintaining similar performance when renaming is actually needed

**Impact on workloads:**
Based on the function reference showing this is called within `get_mean_grouping()` for metrics aggregation, this optimization is particularly valuable because:
- The function processes DataFrames with aggregated column names like "_mean", "_stdev", etc.
- Many DataFrames may not contain these specific suffixes, making the early return path frequently beneficial
- The 24% improvement compounds when processing multiple metric fields in loops

**Test case patterns where optimization excels:**
- Empty DataFrames: 9000%+ speedup
- No matching columns: 3000%+ speedup
- Large DataFrames with no target columns: 250%+ speedup
- Mixed scenarios show modest 1-5% overhead when renaming is needed, but significant gains when it's not
