Subject: [PATCH] Optimize split_dict_by_key_prefix

The optimization delivers a **9% speedup** through two key changes:

**1. Efficient dictionary iteration**: Changed from `for k in d.keys(): ... d[k]` to `for k, v in d.items()`. The original approach performs two dictionary lookups per iteration - one to get the key from `d.keys()` and another to retrieve `d[k]`. The optimized version gets both key and value in a single operation, eliminating redundant hash table lookups.

**2. Faster dictionary initialization**: Replaced `dict()` constructor calls with literal `{}` syntax. Dictionary literals are parsed and optimized at compile time, avoiding the overhead of function calls to the `dict()` constructor.

**Performance impact by test case**:
- **Large dictionaries benefit most**: 13.6% speedup on 1000-element mixed dictionaries, 10.1% on 1000-element no-match cases
- **Small dictionaries see consistent gains**: 4-10% improvements across basic test cases
- **Edge cases maintain improvements**: Even error-throwing test cases show 6-14% speedups due to faster iteration before exceptions occur

The line profiler shows the optimization reduces time spent on dictionary value retrieval (lines with `d[k]` assignments) from 34.5% to 31.7% of total runtime, while the iteration overhead slightly increases due to unpacking but overall delivers net performance gains.
