I am struggling with seeing object creation and destruction as "one action"
... and then speculate on overall performance based on that 'seeing'. GC
work is not happening on my worker thread. It may be important in the grand
scheme but that's how far am willing to go.
I interpreted the original poster's use of StringBuilder as a 'given'. I
imagine he's in the middle of this justifiable 'string-building' exercise
and then comes upon a decision to look for delimiters. Arguing that creating
StringBuilder for the sake of creating a class would be out of scope and may
obfuscate the original problem.

A perhaps strident note I'd rather chip in here is that programmers who
target .NET CLR should focus on writing maintainable code as a major
architectural ideal. For that reason, creating a few more properly
refactored classes with a single-responsibility concept, in my opinion, is
of higher value than than shaving off a million nanoseconds from one task.
Putting this in perspective, these kinds of apps hop around networks quite
much and there's much to gain from focusing on maintainable code that lays
more emphasis on optimizing the way it moves around the network.
