Due to some [bootstrapping issues](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71834059/why-invokedynamic-based-string-concatenation-is-not-available-for-javac-in-java) in `java.base` explicit String concatenation is not translated into invokedynamic, so in practice it's faster to use `StringBuilder.append()` than `str1 + str2`, see e.g. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/3903 ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/10475
