According to "Java Performance and Scalability" by Dov Bulka, the
default size of a StringBuffer is "typically 16", and on expansion
"Typically, the new capacity will be twice as large as the old one".
See Optimization 8: Reserve StringBuffer Capacity.
This is an excellent book, and includes a complete JDBC connection pool
implementation, including caching of PreparedStatements in an appendix.
