That's great news Scott, except, the contrary is stated in the article. I suppose this is why I am confused. Presumably, If that's the case, why isn't StringBuilder based on the prefixing string technique?
I hope Chambers posts another article that goes into detail as to why one is quicker than the other, and why StringBuilder uses the standard concatenation if this is the case.
