   I wonder how much effort de-localizing the TCP/IP stack took, compared   
   to hypothetically updating the compiler to optimize locals more.  If the   
   TCP/IP stack code can compile with iForth or lxf, is there a way to   
   compare the code size with VFX's?  I can understand wanting to use VFX   
   for actual delivery, of course.
