StringBuilder的append、StringBuffer的append和String str = "a"+"b"的区别?

大家都知道String+String会开销额外的系统资源，粗略的原因是String是不可变类，每一步操作都会返回新的String变量，占用空间及时间。
其实我的理解不是这样的，我们来看看String+的底层实现。

测试案例

public static void main(String[] args) {
        String a = "a";
        StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder("b");
        StringBuffer c = new StringBuffer("c");
        long star = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for(int i=0;i<200000;i++){
            a+="a";
        }
        long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("String:"+(end-star));

        star = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for(int i=0;i<200000;i++){
            b.append("b");
        }
        end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("StringBuilder:"+(end-star));

        star = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for(int i=0;i<200000;i++){
            c.append("c");
        }
        end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("StringBuffer:"+(end-star));
    }

测试结果

String:17735
StringBuilder:6
StringBuffer:7

测试结论
String+ 确实占用了太多的资源，处理效率非常低下。StringBuilder比StringBuffer更新了同步方法，性能有所提升。

原因分析

我用javap -verbose 查看已经编译好的class文件发现：

从编译的代码来看，String+的准确操作是：
new StringBuilder()

new String.valueof()

StringBuilder.<init>

StringBuilder.append()

StringBuilder.toString()

而StringBuilder的准确操作是：

StringBuilder.append()

而StringBuffer()的准确操作是：

StringBuffer.append
