We recently encountered a performance issue in stdlib for pypy. It

That's... interesting.
I fixed a performance bug in httplib some years ago by doing the exact
opposite; += -> ''.join(). In that case, it changed downloading a file
from 20 minutes to 3 seconds. That was likely on Python 2.5.
How people feel about generally not having += on long strings in
stdlib (since the refcount = 1 thing is a hack)?
+1 from me.
