Hello. My C# (.NET 2.0) application has a StringBuilder variable with a capacity of 2.5MB. Obviously, I do not want to copy such a large buffer to a larger buffer space every time it fills. By that point, there is so much data in the buffer anyways, removing the older data is a viable option. Can anyone see any obvious problems with how I'm doing this (i.e. am I introducing more performance problems than I'm solving), or does it look okay?

  tText_c = new StringBuilder(2500000, 2500000);

  private void AppendToText(string text)
  {
     if (tText_c.Length * 100 / tText_c.Capacity > 95)
     {
        tText_c.Remove(0, tText_c.Length / 2);
     }

     tText_c.Append(text);
  }

Thanks.
