.( Loading Fibonacci benchmark...) cr
\ This is a standard benchmark used for interpretive languages such as
\ Lisp. Computation of Fibonacci for 20 in MacLisp interpreter on a
\ DEC KA10 takes about 3.6 minutes. The Scheme-79 chip was reported
\ by G.J. Sussman et al. in IEEE COMPUTER, July 1981, to perform
\ the task in about a minute at 1595 ns clock period and 32K Lisp cells.
\
\ The recursive and tail recursive versions in forth. Demonstrates
\ the power of forth (**4).
