Performance of String Operations

Does Emacs contain append/prepend/concat functions for strings that
modify one of its (first) arguments (for side effects only)?

If so, why not?: Isn't such a function crucial to the performance of a
language, regarding that strings is such a common object type?

Or does the Emacs compiler optimize such things? Can I somehow
investigate how Emacs has optimized my lisp code?
