Well it would be of interest to see the test
programs for all the different classes. FastCat
has definitively a problem here:

        return new String( buffer );  // Would like
                   // some way to just hand buffer over to
                   // String to avoid copy.

But it also depends what the other test programs
do, and whether the result is really comparable. Does
the test program for StringBuilder call toString()?

I guess without calling toString() the test programs
are not comparable, since the use case would differ.
