I like to use sprintf whenever possible, to stitch strings together.

Well, that begs for a web service! Create a JSON document from all of the strings that should be concatinated, encoded in base64, wrap that - uuencoded - into an XML file, and post that via SOAP to the web service. The web service should reply with a JSON document containing a base64 encoded XML document that contains the resulting string uuencoded. That way, you can waste even more CPU cycles.

Why don't you just use the concat operator "." or join?
