+ * Uses linear search instead of std::map for typical small datasets (2-20 mappings).
+ * Linear search on contiguous memory is faster than red-black tree lookups when:
+ * - Dataset is small (< ~30 items)
+ * - Memory is contiguous (cache-friendly, better CPU cache utilization)
+ * - No pointer chasing overhead (tree node traversal)
+ * - String comparison cost dominates lookup time
+ *
+ * Benchmark results (see benchmark_map_filter.cpp):
+ * - 2 mappings:  Linear 1.26x faster than std::map
+ * - 5 mappings:  Linear 2.25x faster than std::map
+ * - 10 mappings: Linear 1.83x faster than std::map
+ * - 20 mappings: Linear 1.59x faster than std::map
+ * - 30 mappings: Linear 1.09x faster than std::map
+ * - 40 mappings: std::map 1.27x faster than Linear (break-even)
+ *
+ * Benefits over std::map:
+ * - ~2KB smaller flash (no red-black tree code)
+ * - ~24-32 bytes less RAM per mapping (no tree node overhead)
+ * - Faster for typical ESPHome usage (2-10 mappings common, 20+ rare)
+ *
+ * Break-even point: ~35-40 mappings, but ESPHome configs rarely exceed 20
