Last I did benchmarking, a vast majority of memory allocations were strings that were typically all dereferenced right away and cleaned up in GEN1 GC. I had contemplated whether string pooling would be useful or not but never got around to it. Would be interesting to see if you could get reduced memory usage and potentially better performance by decreasing pressure on the GC during the GEN1 phase.

(Side note: this was when I was co-maintaining MCPC so was typically with mods installed and they heavily use NBT which I suspect is where a lot of that string allocation was happening.)
