Moonforth is the one for the Minecraft cpu right?  I doubt if it
seriously tried to optimize anything.  You might look at a careful but
traditional implementation like F83.  I've been wanting to do that for a
while.  There's a book by C. H. Ting about how it works, called "Inside
F83", which is online in forth.org though it's in an ancient word
processor format (Macwrite 1 IIRC).  There was some discussion here a
few years ago about understanding the format, but I don't remember how
it came out.
