If I update this patch I will add Ulf suggestion of adding AbstractStringBuilder as a third instanceof case. Mike

Thanks!
I'm stil wondering, why HotSpot doesn't optimize
            for (int i = start, j = count; i < end; i++, j++) {
                value[j] = s.charAt(i);
            }
to something equivalent of System.arrayCopy(...)
Maybe we could introduce a new intrinsic for something like
    CharSequence.rangeCopy(int start, int end, CharSequence dst, int start)
