If you just have one string to output, it doesn't make much of a
difference, since the Helma Skin class will just do the res.write()
for you. If, on the other hand, your macro output is composed of many
small pieces, it's better to directly use res.write(), since composing
a string with multiple + concatenations adds a lot of memory overhead
(each + operation results in the whole string being reallocated in
memory).
