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.
