--- Comment #2 from Keith Miller <keith_miller at apple.com> ---
It looks like you are seeing such a large difference because the test is passing more than one argument to concat at the same time. This causes us to emit a loop which is slowing that code down.

If you change your test to:

string1.concat(string2).concat(string3);

you will see that the perf is quite close. In theory we could do some loop unrolling to fix this but the same issue applies to calling the '+' operator in a loop.

The join case is slow because it will allocate an Array, which is expensive. We could also optimize this but it's probably easier to use the concat method for now.
