Short version:

Cache the value returned by toString and use it to copy-construct a new String on subsequent calls to toString(). Clear the cache on any mutating operation. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8013395/webrev.v2/

Shouldn't you clear the cache before the modification, in case the modification throws an exception mid-way? But you cache String (and not char[]s), so it's probably not that important.
