There are a few things floating around the web saying that it is faster using a stream for concatenation, but its been shown a while back to be "not necessarily" true.�� It depends on the use case so you should profile - if its that important.

it seems that in more cases than not, i find that developers use a stream when concatenating some text strings.

I am wondering if this is a smalltalk thing, or is there a real speed benefit when using streams in this way.
