Do you include renaming a variable as refactoring? I'm sure you can appreciate

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.
