This is just an update to the nice piece of code submitted by VF-fCRO on 1/12/2002. I simply added some small features (elapsed time, a different way to loop, minor text edits, etc). Doesn't really change the purpose of the original, just adds a few touches to it. the original is at

I wouldn't really entitle VF-fCRO's submission a "mistake"; he/she actually submitted a demonstration of a better way to handle concatenating strings with a far faster technique, and it doesn't use and API calls or weird, esoteric methods.

Faster way to handle string concatenation than what many people might consider the "default" technique. Can make a big difference, and might give you other ideas for optimizing your code.
