I just tried polyFORTH under windows in protected mode on a 33 MHZ 486.  I ran
the following timing tests:

: tt  1000000 0 DO I DROP LOOP ;

1700  milliseconds.

: tt 1000 0 DO I BLOCK DROP LOOP ;

2300  milliseconds

This last test requires lots of switches from protected mode to real mode.

This makes it slightly better then twice as fast as a 33 MHz 386.

Should be fast enough for just about anything.
