Description
The issue is related to 7104625.

WrapperGenerator is used to generate XEvent and its descendant classes. All of the generated classes contain a getFieldsAsString() method used to get their string representation. These methods use string concatenation with the "+" operator which leads to huge overhead in terms of memory usage.
