Github user Harbs commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/pull/24#issuecomment-152503636 I'd think the compiler optimizes the string concatenation, so there's no difference in performance: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1532461/stringbuilder-vs-string-concatenation-in-tostring-in-java Is that not the case?
