A lists:keyfind on a small list is going to be fast, especially because you
are only reading and thus not putting any GC pressure in there. Your
parsing variant constructs a number of intermediate tuples and I don't
think the Erlang compiler currently detects it can unroll that loop, and
strength reduce the tuple creation so it has higher GC pressure.
Alternatively, put it into a map and then transform the map. It is at most
one write more.

I'd measure this carefully.
