> This PR optimizes string concatenation in `URL::toExternalForm`. This method  
> is called by `URL:toString` and executes often enough to be noticed during 
> startup / classloading profiling. It was previously optimized in JDK 10 via 
> JDK-8193034, but we can do more.
> 
> Key observations:
> 
> * The current method concatenates concatenated strings. We can get away with 
> less by flattening and concatenating once per call.
> * The current method does not take advantage of the fact that most URL 
> components are optional and several are commonly not present. We can 
> specialize for those cheaper common concatenations.
> 
> This PR reduces runtime with 60% or more, depending on present URL 
> components. (Benchmark results in first comment). I also ran the benchmark 
> with compilation excluded and found no regressions for the interpreter case.
> 
> Working on this PR revealed that current tests miss coverage for the case 
> where a query or ref component is the empty string. Some new test cases are 
> added to `Constructor.java`. Otherwise, `URL::toString` seems well tested by 
> current tests.
> 
> Performance refactoring, `noreg-perf`.

Eirik Bjørsnøs has updated the pull request incrementally with seven additional 
commits since the last revision:

 - Add comment explaining why method is fast
 - Give up on vertical alignment
 - Shorten fast paths by using a ternary operator
 - Boolean locals for optionality allows tighter code
 - Fast paths can be moved to top of method
 - Add test cases for URLs with empty (blank, but non null) query and ref 
components
 - Fix regression caused by treating blank query or ref as not present
