👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request. When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job! For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs.

💡 What
Replaced slow pandas
iterrows()loops withitertuples()orto_dict("records")in:ml_peg/calcs/bulk_crystal/elasticity/calc_elasticity.pyml_peg/calcs/utils/gscdb138.pyml_peg/calcs/conformers/solvMPCONF196/calc_solvMPCONF196.pyml_peg/calcs/conformers/MPCONF196/calc_MPCONF196.py🎯 Why
iterrows()is notoriously slow in pandas because it instantiates a newpd.Seriesobject for every row it yields, causing severe memory allocation overhead. Using lightweight standard structures like dicts and tuples drastically reduces overhead when running benchmarks over extensive subsets.📊 Impact
Typical iteration speedup is between 10x and 100x depending on the number of rows. This optimization allows large dataframe iterations in benchmarks to occur almost instantaneously rather than scaling slowly.
