Yes, he probably means join, which was proven to be MUCH slower than 
FastString appends, for the simple fact that you'd have to fill an array 
first before you can use join. Just measuring the speed of join and 
leaving out the time it takes for the construction of an array and then 
saying that join is faster than FastString appends is purposefully 
misleading.
