   Well, it didn't take minutes. And it wasn't "a few" lines, it was 48, about the same length as the input code. But I will say once I was doing "forthy things" (pure computation) instead of stuff Forth's bad at (regular programming) it was way quicker, easier. It did occasionally feel like flying. Some of these lines have a real clarity to them.
