This is Optional.toString() https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/0699220830a457959b784b35af125b70f43fa3b0/src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/Optional.java#L454

    /**

    }

String.format is surprisingly expensive, and we are seeing Optional.toString() showing up as a measurable fraction of CPU time in Google's servers. This code could just as easily use string concatenation, which would certainly be cheaper.

Similar remarks apply to the other Optional* classes like OptionalInt, though they are used much less.
