The "if (val.Length == 0)" does not seem very intuitive in the context of 
determine whether a string is empty or not. A better solution would seem to 
be to optimize the comparison of "if (val == String.Empty)".

Also, my understanding was that all string constants declared in a program 
would be interned, so that a simple pointer comparison could be done.

Given all that, I'm not sure why the val.Length version is so much faster.
