Right, but it's not twice as slow :-) Worse... It's at least 50-100 times slower.
Weird.
I will have to do some bench marks. I just thought that if there was already a string
concatenation happening, that an additional concatenation would cost me twice as much
time, but not 50-100 times. Plus, the second concatenation is a small concatenation.
It's only two characters in length (#13#10) whereas the Line is much bigger.
