From: James Lee Date: 2009-03-09T03:40:02+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:22752] [Bug #1255] += for large strings egrigiously slow Issue #1255 has been updated by James Lee. I hadn't considered other references to the string. Still, you already have to maintain a reference count, so if the number of references before the call to += is 1, it should be okay to do a destructive update, right? ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1255 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
