That is why I'm having a hard time deciding what to do, the 
possibilities are too large and varied so no one solution works great.

So far the best solution is Direct Token Threaded with the proviso that 
if used often and its not fast enough the it could be modified to use 
assembler primitives instead of C that would not be a big change.
