Writing huge string data to file in java, optimization options

I have a chat like desktop java swing app, where i keep getting String type data. Eventually the String variable keeps growing larger and larger. 1) Is it wise idea to keep the large variable in memory and only when the logging is finished save this to disk. 2) If not, then should i continue saving everytime i get a new string (of length about 30-40). How should i go about optimizing such a desgin?
