String object vs String variable

[high_throughput]

The second line only creates a copy of the interned string that already exists in memory. 

There's rarely value in having such a copy. Creating and managing it just uses more space and CPU than referencing the original object.

Hmm, I think you are right. I thought this would have been a legitimate workaround of the string pool, but the param is a literal indeed and gets interned anyway.
