Then we should tune them with another yet unused global setting:
"Report paranoia" (I'm not sure the name is great. If anybody have
something better...)

That's what I meant: speed up the interpretor => use less CPU for
the same job.
By the way, the fact that gforth relies upon a VM is surprising. 
The implementation of the original Forth was simpler (and very
efficient). 
I have to look at this.

If anybody finds a way to benchmark such a thing without writing a
new interpretor, that would be great.
