Use StringBuffer or StringBuilder instead ""+

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use the library for generating XML. The addition of strings makes XML 
generation is very slow. Why not use StringBuffer or StringBuilder instead of 
adding Strings?

For example:

    public void toXML(StringBuffer xml) {
        xml.append("<array>");
        for (NSObject o : array) {
            o.toXML(xml);
        }
        xml.append("</array>");
    }

    public String toXMLPropertyList() {
        StringBuffer xml = new StringBuffer("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
        xml.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        xml.append("<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC \"-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN\" \"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd\">");
        xml.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        xml.append("<plist version=\"1.0\">").append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        toXML(xml);
        xml.append("</plist>");
        return xml.toString();
    }

I will use StringBuilder instead of StringBuffer as this brings even better 
performance. Will be fixed in r17.
