To my knowledge polyForth single-segment 8086 NEXT is coded
in-line as:

     LODSW
     XCHG AX,DI
     JMP WORD PTR [DI]

In FD there was an article:

    "A Faster NEXT Loop"  (FD V9N6)

This was MVP-FORTH (8086, Forth-79) whose original NEXT was 7
instructions (compared to FIG's 5).  It explained how NEXT could be
reduced to 3 instructions and the mods necessary.  It was essentially
as above but used a different register and NEXT was not in-line.
The article claimed a 25% speed improvement over the original.
