As far as I can see, GString is more dynamic. For example you could have
an empty string in a 1KB buffer, then fill it one char at a time without
having to re-allocate mem => O(1). With a bytearray you'd have to
reallocate the buffer (maybe copying the old one) every time => O(n*n)
But if you only have a fixed size, you won't need the gstring power.

BYtE,
