StringBuilder is probably preferable. The reason is that it allocates more space than currently needed (you set the number of characters) to leave room for future appends. Then those future appends that fit in the current buffer don't require any memory allocation or garbage collection, which can be expensive. In general, I use StringBuilder for complex string concatentation or multiple formatting, then convert to a normal String when the data is complete, and I want an immutable object again.

为了澄清Gillian所说的4弦，如果你有这样的东西:

string a,b,c,d;
 a = b + c + d;

那么使用字符串和加号运算符会更快。这是因为(就像Eric指出的Java一样)，它在内部自动使用StringBuilder(实际上，它使用StringBuilder也使用的原语)

但是，如果你正在做的事情接近:

string a,b,c,d;
 a = a + b;
 a = a + c;
 a = a + d;

然后你需要显式地使用一个StringBuilder。. net在这里不会自动创建一个StringBuilder，因为这毫无意义。在每行的末尾，"a"必须是一个(不可变的)字符串，因此它必须在每行上创建和释放一个StringBuilder。为了提高速度，你需要使用相同的StringBuilder，直到你完成构建:

string a,b,c,d;
StringBuilder e = new StringBuilder();
 e.Append(b);
 e.Append(c);
 e.Append(d);
 a = e.ToString();

如果你要做很多字符串连接，使用StringBuilder。当您连接一个String时，每次都会创建一个新的String，这会占用更多的内存。

StringBuilder更适合从许多非常量值构建字符串。

If you're building up a string from a lot of constant values, such as multiple lines of values in an HTML or XML document or other chunks of text, you can get away with just appending to the same string, because almost all compilers do "constant folding", a process of reducing the parse tree when you have a bunch of constant manipulation (it's also used when you write something like int minutesPerYear = 24 * 365 * 60). And for simple cases with non-constant values appended to each other, the .NET compiler will reduce your code to something similar to what StringBuilder does.

但是当你的append不能被编译器简化为更简单的东西时，你将需要一个StringBuilder。正如fizch所指出的，这更有可能发生在循环内部。

一个简单的例子来演示使用String连接和StringBuilder在速度上的差异:

System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch time = new Stopwatch();
string test = string.Empty;
time.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    test += i;
}
time.Stop();
System.Console.WriteLine("Using String concatenation: " + time.ElapsedMilliseconds + " milliseconds");

结果:

使用字符串串联:15423毫秒

StringBuilder test1 = new StringBuilder();
time.Reset();
time.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
    test1.Append(i);
}
time.Stop();
System.Console.WriteLine("Using StringBuilder: " + time.ElapsedMilliseconds + " milliseconds");

结果:

使用StringBuilder: 10毫秒

结果，第一次迭代花费了15423毫秒，而使用StringBuilder的第二次迭代花费了10毫秒。

在我看来，使用StringBuilder更快，快得多。
