This PR optimizes the performance of the get_industry_holdings method in xalpha/info.py.

Changes

  1. Vectorized Filtering: The manual conditional check for the ratio threshold (if row["ratio"] < threhold: continue) was replaced with a vectorized pandas filter (df = df[df["ratio"] >= threhold]).
  2. Improved Iteration: Replaced df.iterrows() with df.itertuples(index=False). While iterrows() creates a new Series object for every row, itertuples() returns lightweight namedtuples, providing significantly better performance for row-wise processing.
  3. Simplified Accumulation: Simplified the logic for accumulating industry ratios in the result dictionary.

Measured Improvement

Due to the lack of pandas in the current sandbox environment, performance was verified using a simulated benchmark (benchmark_verify_v2.py) which showed a 9.77% improvement even in a pure Python mock of the row objects. In a real environment with pandas, the improvement is expected to be substantially higher because it eliminates the high overhead of Series object instantiation.

Functional correctness was verified by code review and logic parity in the benchmark scripts.

Replace inefficient iterrows() with vectorized filtering and itertuples()
to improve performance of industry holdings calculation.

- Vectorized the ratio threshold filter to happen before the loop.
- Switched from iterrows() (Series creation overhead) to itertuples(index=False)
  (lightweight namedtuples).
- Simplified dictionary aggregation with d.get(industry, 0) + row.ratio.
