A critical section frame is not particular speed sensitve. It simply turns off interrupts temporarily. A small forth implementation that one can understand is far more valuable. Code _within_ that critical section should be as small and fast as possible indeed. But again: maintainable forth code is of higher value than some cryptic assembler magic.. IMHO.
