I do not understand this question.  There is AFAIK no "multiple string
append case": string concatenation is done by a single array copy, and
multiple concatenations are done as several array copies.  Therefore,
all we have to do is make sure that char/byte array copies are fast in
both directions.  And if the problem is prefetching, we know how to do
that.
