I would look at how you first generate that string. I don't see anything
about how you are generating it, but I think your problems would be solved
by simply creating an array instead of a long string then use...

yourArray.join (" ");

this will output all the elements of the array with a space between them and
it should tax the processor much less...

I have no clue as to how you are generating the string, however...
