(In all seriousness, I did actually hold the informal record for typing speed when I was in the Army, dunno if that still stands or not... which of course is an absolutely worthless bit of information in any case, but whatever :) )

A) If you change the name of a method, especially by the time it's
   referenced numerous places, you've already screwed up. It shows a lack
   of forethought in your design (and I don't necessarily mean formal
   design).

B) With appropriate unix tools (ed or perl, in this case), it's under a
   minute. While that's more than one second, it should be an exceedingly
   rare operation (see A).
