So why not add the above small explanation and some stack comments 
to your code? I almost suspect that you deliberately deleted them :-)

Just a observation: your program works with iForth when I use the 
standard >NUMBER and REFILL words. The runtime for the large example
is dominated by I/O time: 1 ms without output and 120 ms with writing
of the data to file.
