I've done global renaming, and it just hasn't been much of an issue. I suppose 
if I did it a lot a tool would help, but I don't do it often enough to matter.

I also usually run grep first to make sure I don't bork things up completely :-)

But when I talk about refactoring, I mean things like changing data structures 
and algorithms. Renaming things is pretty far over on the trivial end, and isn't 
going to help your program run any faster.
