Solution 1

The top of my article, StringBuilderPlus, explains some of the differences. Basically, StringBuilder is mutable and String is immutable, so StringBuilder can be faster when combining many Strings.

Solution 2

Basically, the StringBuilder class is more efficient than the String class when making many modifications to the string in question. I don't have enough knowledge to explain it further, sorry.
