It's at a speed level now which is somewhat usable for interactive
public key crypto, but way too slow for (say) a TLS server.  It probably
wants a 10x speedup for that, which might or might not be feasible with
the current approach.  I do think it's doable one way or another with
gforth-fast or one of the native code compilers.

I tend to think that isn't too useful per se, since if you're trying to
factor numbers you probably care about the speed too much, but it would
be nice to implement elliptic curve arithmetic for cryptography.  

If you are just interested in how those factoring algorithms work, Neal
Koblitz's book "A Course in Number Theory and Cryptography" is pretty
readable, and Mike Scott's old MIRACL package (I think it is somewhere
on Github now) has some simple implementations in C or C++ that might be
worth looking at.
