CPU and memory bandwidth is abundant on modern servers. I'm actually not
sure that having a 500 entries long if/else statement will hamper
performance at all. Remember, there will be no system calls. I would guess a
modern server will execute at least a four million regex-based if/else per
second per CPU core if most of the code and data will be in the on die
cache. So executing 500 matches should take about 0.5ms.

It might not make sense to optimize this.
