Sometimes the code is written in a way to expose gotchas of the Intel x86 line of CPUs. However, I feel the benchmarks are still interesting enough across the board. Hopefully this vast amount of sometimes tricky Forth code is just what the advanced student needs. Of course I didn't write all these benchmarks myself. Many programs are taken from comp.lang.forth or the Forth archives at taygeta.
