The version of read-string-no-echo I recently posted used a sparse keymap,
which is a pretty dumb butt thing to do for this application.  So change
the first several lines, the ones defining the keymap, to the following:

(setq minibuffer-local-no-echo-map
      (vconcat (make-vector ?\040 nil)
	       (make-vector ?\140 'read-char-no-echo)))

(mapcar '(lambda (x) (aset minibuffer-local-no-echo-map (car x) (cdr x)))
	(cdr minibuffer-local-map))

(aset minibuffer-local-no-echo-map ?\177 'delete-char-no-echo)

This will load and run quicker.  Hopefully beginners might gain something
by comparing the two, so please excuse the repetition.

     Peace on earth and mercy mild / Two for man and one for child.
