If your code is of the form

buffer = buffer + new data

then you could probably improve performance by replacing + with Join  
-- something like this.

Private Property InternalBuffer() as String

InternalBuffer.Append new Data

Function Data() as String
   dim theData as String = Join(InternalBuffer, "")
   redim InternalBuffer(-1)
   InternalBuffer.Append theData
   return theData
End Function


The idea might be to grab the data once the data transfer is complete.
