So why not "nice input" from the java sources ...i.e.: use concatenation only if possible. The 
performance problem occurs, if both strategies are mixed.

+ manual .append("x") should be translated to .append("x")
+ Javac could avoid to instantiate multiple SBs from mixed concatenation/SB source code.
+ Javac could calculate a reasonable buffer size init value.
