Without pain, a lot of gain!
Two simple changes make things much faster (12% faster overall gain in my
startup code, as measured by CPU cycles needed to process the 'retroforth.f'
(reva.f in my case) startup code processing).
In 'dict.pl', make the addition of 'ALIGN 4' before each dictionary entry.
Likewise, in the FORTH and MCODE macros (code and mcode in rf), put an ALIGN 4
before the code label).
In combination, this results in a greater than 10% speedup in compilation on
both my AMD and Intel machines. The only cost is that the binary is a little
bigger.
Best regards,
Ron the Optimizer
