The optimized version achieves a **137% speedup** by eliminating unnecessary work through two key optimizations: **What was optimized:** 1. **Pre-filtered categorical detection**: Instead of checking `column.dtype.name == "category"` for every column in the loop, the optimization identifies all categorical columns upfront using `enumerate(df.dtypes)` and stores their indices. 2. **Early exit for non-categorical DataFrames**: Added a guard clause that returns immediately if no categorical columns exist, avoiding any loop overhead. **Why this is faster:** - **Reduced dtype access overhead**: The original code called `df.iloc[:, i]` (expensive pandas indexing) for every column, then checked its dtype. The optimization accesses `df.dtypes` once, which is much faster than repeated `iloc` calls. - **Eliminated wasted iterations**: For DataFrames with few/no categorical columns, the original code still iterates through all columns. The optimization skips non-categorical columns entirely and exits early when possible. **Performance characteristics from tests:** - **Large DataFrames with mixed types**: Shows significant gains (16-22% faster) when many columns exist but only some are categorical - **No categorical columns**: Dramatic improvement (33-58% faster) due to early exit - **Small DataFrames**: Slight overhead (9-16% slower) due to upfront processing, but this is negligible in absolute terms (microseconds) The line profiler confirms this: the original spent 66.8% of time on `df.iloc` access across all columns, while the optimized version only accesses iloc for the pre-identified categorical columns, reducing this bottleneck substantially.

24-29: Solid optimization: pre-filter and early exit.Pre-collecting categorical indices and returning early when none exist avoids wasted iteration. Correct approach.

Minor: simplify the assignment.
Lines 33-34 can be combined into one statement without the intermediate variable.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In deepnote_toolkit/ocelots/pandas/utils.py around lines 32 to 34, the code uses
an intermediate variable 'column' to add a category; simplify by replacing the
two statements with a single assignment that updates the DataFrame column in
place, e.g. assign the result of df.iloc[:, i].cat.add_categories("nan")
directly back to df.iloc[:, i].

45-47: Intermediate variable still present.Past review suggested combining lines 46-47 into a single statement. The intermediate variable remains.

41-42: Early exit is correct.Avoids wasted iterations when no categorical columns exist. Validated by benchmark improvements.
36-48: Optimization logic is sound, but manual verification needed.Pre-collection of categorical indices and early exit avoid repeated dtype checks. However, edge case testing couldn't run in this environment (pandas unavailable). Manually verify behavior with empty DataFrames and non-categorical inputs to confirm the early exit and iloc assignment work correctly across your pandas version.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
Consider using pandas API for dtype checking.
dtype.name == "category" works but pd.api.types.is_categorical_dtype(dtype) is more idiomatic and robust.

- i for i, dtype in enumerate(df.dtypes) if dtype.name == "category"

In deepnote_toolkit/ocelots/pandas/utils.py around lines 38 to 40, replace the
dtype name string comparison with the pandas API for checking categorical
dtypes: use pd.api.types.is_categorical_dtype(dtype) when filtering df.dtypes so
detection is more idiomatic and robust; update the list comprehension
accordingly and ensure pd.api.types is imported/accessible in the module.
