In JDK 1.3, StringBuffer makes the String concatenations faster.

public String concat(String s1, String s2) {
  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
  sb.append(s1);
  sb.append(s2);
  return sb.toString();
}

JDK 1.5 comes with StringBuilder (which is faster than StringBuffer) and the method:

public String concat(String s1, String s2) {
  return s1 + s2;
}

is translated to:

public String concat(String s1, String s2) {
  return new StringBuilder().append(s1).append(s2).toString();
}

NOTE: StringBuffer is synchronized, StringBuilder is not.
