Quería comparar el método usando la subcadena y el método usando el segmento de Base33 y user113716 respectivamente, para hacer eso escribí un código
También eche un vistazo a esta comparación de rendimiento, subcadena, corte
El código que utilicé crea cadenas enormes e inserta la "barra" de cadenas varias veces en la cadena enorme
if (!String.prototype.splice) {
/**
* {JSDoc}
*
* The splice() method changes the content of a string by removing a range of
* characters and/or adding new characters.
*
* @this {String}
* @param {number} start Index at which to start changing the string.
* @param {number} delCount An integer indicating the number of old chars to remove.
* @param {string} newSubStr The String that is spliced in.
* @return {string} A new string with the spliced substring.

String.prototype.splice = function (start, delCount, newSubStr) {

var actualStringSize = sSize * (10 * j)
var s1 = createString(actualStringSize)
var s2 = createString(actualStringSize)

console.log(
"string size =", "Some String ".length * actualStringSize, "\n",
"repeat count = ", repeatTimes, "\n",
"splice performance = ", splicePerf, "\n",
"substring performance = ", subStrPerf, "\n",
"difference = ", splicePerf - subStrPerf // + = splice is faster, - = subStr is faster

doTests(1, 100)
La diferencia general en el rendimiento es marginal en el mejor de los casos y ambos métodos funcionan bien (incluso en cadenas de longitud ~~ 12000000)
