It is the know how of this some people well known programming languge. If you hear about M. Anton Ertl and David Gregg, and about a very fast direct-threaded interpreted (may be byte code or not), it is clear,. it is Forth-know-how. I'm absolutly sure. Some Forth systems are the fastest threaded code and even direct-threaded code interpreter (als virtual stack machines) available. Know how coming from here speeds up SquirrelFish.

The compilation time is pretty minimal, and that would make it so that the bytecode format couldn't be upgraded in the future, which would make further performance gains harder. dicklacara: probably not.
