Review Comment:
   I wonder if this allocation can be removed by using the Write impl? See 
https://arrow.apache.org/rust/arrow/array/type.GenericStringBuilder.html#example-incrementally-writing-strings-with-stdfmtwrite
   
   Perhaps by iterating through the rev iterator, writing chars one at a time.

   If the above is slower, it could also be interesting to see if reusing the 
String allocation  with a clear() on every loop is faster
