Description Adam Kiezun CLA 2002-12-03 11:06:12 EST 
HTML2TextReader.processPreformattedText seems to create a new String object for 
every single character ever displayed in a javadoc hover

this adds up to hundreds of kilobytes after just a couple of seconds.
StringBuffer.insert for which the Strings are used accepts chars as well - 
maybe that method could be used intead
