Subject: [ruby-core:28448] [Feature #905](Feedback) Add String.new(fixnum) to preallocate large buffer

Issue #905 has been updated by Yusuke Endoh.

Status changed from Open to Feedback

Hi,

> This would allow heavy string-appending algorithms and libraries (like ERb) to avoid doing so many memory copies while they run.

Is it really a bottleneck?  Please make an experiment and show us
the result.

We can continue API discussion after we confirm the feature really
makes sense.
