You could go pretty quick if you used FRAM or SRAM instead of EEPROM, or if
you used the PIC at high speed (20MHz).

All depends on what you're after.  The nice part about Forth is that you
can make the memory access mechanism totally invisible - the program would
never have to know it's running on a serial/external vs. a internal memory.
