The example you provided was a very inefficient implementation of a C++
string class, and it's no wonder that you have performance issues !

Why allocate the internal buffer every time a copy is made ?
Why are you using strcpy() in the overloaded = operator function ?
Why are you writing your own C++ standard library ?
