The way I think about this is not on a per-word basis. Instead,
consider the working set of the application: Does it fit in the
I-Cache and in the D-Cache, or conversely, how big would they have to
be to fit? If you mix code with read-only data, the working-set will
grow (both in the I-cache and in the D-cache), and if the caches are
smaller than the working set, you will have more misses in these
caches. Actually, even if the caches are big enough for the working
set, you will have more misses (compulsory misses), although the
absolute number of misses will be small.
>Is it really worth it?
Given that it was easier to implement that based on the earlier Gforth
implementation (which had no separate headers and no native code
(apart from the ITC-emulating DTC trampolines)) than to implement your
approach, yes, this advantage is definitely worth the negative cost.
How small or big the advantage is depends on the application and can
only be determined by implementing both variants in the same Forth
system and measuring the result.
