是的，StringBuilder在对字符串执行重复操作时提供了更好的性能。这是因为所有的更改都是对单个实例进行的，因此它可以节省大量时间，而不是像String那样创建一个新实例。

String Vs Stringbuilder

字符串 系统命名空间下 不可变(只读)实例 当价值发生持续变化时，性能下降 线程安全的 StringBuilder(可变字符串) 在系统。文本名称空间 可变的实例 显示更好的性能，因为对现有实例进行了新的更改

强烈推荐dotnet mob文章:c#中的String Vs StringBuilder。 相关堆栈溢出问题:字符串时的可变性 在c#中没有改变?

从内存的角度来看，StringBuilder的性能会更好。至于处理，执行时间的差异可以忽略不计。

这个基准测试表明，当组合3个或更少字符串时，常规连接更快。

StringBuilder可以在内存使用方面做出非常显著的改进，特别是在将500个字符串加在一起的情况下。

考虑下面的例子:

string buffer = "The numbers are: ";
for( int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    buffer += i.ToString();
}
return buffer;

内存中发生了什么?创建以下字符串:

1 - "The numbers are: "
2 - "0"
3 - "The numbers are: 0"
4 - "1"
5 - "The numbers are: 01"
6 - "2"
7 - "The numbers are: 012"
8 - "3"
9 - "The numbers are: 0123"
10 - "4"
11 - "The numbers are: 01234"
12 - "5"
13 - "The numbers are: 012345"

通过将这5个数字加到字符串的末尾，我们创建了13个字符串对象!其中12个是无用的!哇!

StringBuilder fixes this problem. It is not a "mutable string" as we often hear (all strings in .NET are immutable). It works by keeping an internal buffer, an array of char. Calling Append() or AppendLine() adds the string to the empty space at the end of the char array; if the array is too small, it creates a new, larger array, and copies the buffer there. So in the example above, StringBuilder might only need a single array to contain all 5 additions to the string-- depending on the size of its buffer. You can tell StringBuilder how big its buffer should be in the constructor.

String和StringBuilder实际上都是不可变的，StringBuilder内置了缓冲区，允许更有效地管理其大小。当StringBuilder需要调整大小时，就是在堆上重新分配它的时候。默认情况下，它的大小为16个字符，您可以在构造函数中设置此值。

eg.

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(50);

The performance of a concatenation operation for a String or StringBuilder object depends on how often a memory allocation occurs. A String concatenation operation always allocates memory, whereas a StringBuilder concatenation operation only allocates memory if the StringBuilder object buffer is too small to accommodate the new data. Consequently, the String class is preferable for a concatenation operation if a fixed number of String objects are concatenated. In that case, the individual concatenation operations might even be combined into a single operation by the compiler. A StringBuilder object is preferable for a concatenation operation if an arbitrary number of strings are concatenated; for example, if a loop concatenates a random number of strings of user input.

我的方法一直是在连接4个或更多字符串时使用StringBuilder 或 当我不知道有多少串联会发生。
