I changed the code to use the StringBuilder and then made the StringBuilder and Formatter "static final private" fields, instead of local variables.
My garbage collection went from once every 6 seconds to once every 27 seconds. That is what I thought might happen and why I considered the code I posted as wasteful. I did not try using a String. There was another post on the group that said a String would be more costly than a Formatter which is why I took the Formatter route.
