just a 0.5 penny..
wow.. you trying to get a fastest way to fold a string,
by using a concatenaiton.. i think its not most effective way, at
least for given example :)
I think that using streams, it will be much faster.
(String streamContents: [:s |
(#('if' 'it' 'is' 'to' 'be' 'it' 'is' 'up' 'to' 'me') do: [:each | s
nextPutAll: each; nextPut: $ ]) allButLast
