So with gforth it's about 30 nanosecs runtime disadvantage.
IOW if you run the code 3*10^7 times it adds up to 1 sec disadvantage.

I think you mean: if you run the code 3*10^8 times it adds up to 1 sec
disadvantage.

While the locals version was easy to code, pretty straightforward and
probably bug-free out of the box, how long did it take to code and debug
the stack juggling version?

It took me several tries and corrections (and time).
Perhaps, one can factor the code in the does> part.
