Is StringBuilder.Replace() more efficient than String.Replace?
.net, string, stringbuilder
Solution
This is exactly the type of thing StringBuilder is for - repeated modification of the same text object - it's not just for repeated concatenation, though that appears to be what it's used for most commonly.
Problem
If you have to use String.Replace() to replace test 50 times, you essentially have to create a new string 50 times. Does StringBuilder.Replace() do this more efficiently? E.g., should I use a StringBuilder if I'm going to be replacing a lot of text, even while I won't be appending any data to it? I'm using .NET, but I assume this would be the same as Java and possibly other languages.
