Hi Brett

Nicely made example of the benefits. They are even more striking if the line

test-string: make string! 500000

is changed to

test-string: make string! 800000

to allow for 100000 copies of the 8 char string "BlahBlah".

Preallocation reduces the time by more than a factor of three on my box
using latest Core exper build.

Cheers
