In real life, I use the String concatenation operator 99.5% of the time.
There is no such thing as a fair test. Here, the test is the
There is such a thing as a fair comparison though, but that aside.
I am still puzzled. You responded to a posting about the speed of reading
chunks of text from a file and adding it to a string, saying 'Join' would be
much faster than FastString for that purpose. I failed to understand where
'Join' would fit in, and frankly, I still do.
Now, I have no personal gain or loss either way, but I'm genuinly interested
to know how you would use 'Join' to append data read from a file to a
string. (Whether that's faster or not is of no concequence to me as I've
virtually eliminated the use of strings in my Metropolis code. Even reading
data from file has no effect on Metropolis' speed anymore).
Are you reading formatted data? Comma separated or something like that? Or
what? What did I miss?
