A traditional ITC Forth would be relatively slow too compared with
native code and subroutine threading.  The esp8266 is fast compared to
older MCUs and the even faster ESP32 is available now.  In fact you can
even run Python on the esp8266 (micropython.org).  What are you doing
that makes speed a worry?

Is it the one below?  It looks nice to me and I got it running on a PC
without any trouble, iirc:

What tools are those?  I'm used to completely self-hosted eforths.
