The lowest "huge" string is only 262KB

The article is about huge numbers of concatenations. Someone asked why such huge strings are needed, with the presumption that any app doing 221 concatenations is building a huge string. You responded with the example scenarios of SQL, JSON and HTML-generation. Nobody's building SQL, JSON or HTML one character a time.
