This discussion may well end in a flame war. What is faster: echoing
with output buffering vs. concatening strings with the dot operator?
ISTM all depends on the implementation. AFAIK string concatenation is a
very cheap operation in Python, for instance, as the string is not
actually built (merely a "pseudo" string containing links to the
concatenated strings). In other languages such as PHP, the characters
have to be copied over to a new string, AFAIK. This probably makes
output buffering faster, but the performance difference may be
neglectable for typical cases. And one never knows, if the
implementation might change in the future.
