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。

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减少了分配和赋值的数量，代价是使用了额外的内存。如果使用得当，它可以完全消除编译器需要一遍又一遍地分配越来越大的字符串，直到找到结果为止。

string result = "";
for(int i = 0; i != N; ++i)
{
   result = result + i.ToString();   // allocates a new string, then assigns it to result, which gets repeated N times
}

vs.

String result;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(10000);   // create a buffer of 10k
for(int i = 0; i != N; ++i)
{
   sb.Append(i.ToString());          // fill the buffer, resizing if it overflows the buffer
}

result = sb.ToString();   // assigns once

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.

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.

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);
