This is true for older browsers only, that could not cope with long text strings, although it makes no difference in newer, it never hurts to code defensively.
Netscape Navigator 4 will slow down considerably if you document.write all strings. I always code strings like this - for readability and to avoid any potential string overflow:
<script language="JavaScript"><!-- var Text = ''; Text += 'This is a rather long piece of text'; Text += '\nSo it is stung together like this'; Text += '\nIt is ' + Text.length + ' long so far'; document.write(Text); //--></script>
