Concatenation involves data copying, which takes time. For small strings
it's rarely an issue, but if you're working with larger strings it can
really hurt. There was a most excellent discussion of this issue last
August. Well worth reading up on for anyone churning large amounts of data
- reducing the amount of concatenation in these cases can make a huge
difference to performance (certainly has in my scripts).
