I wrote NoQuiche, in the early days of the Mac Plus and of INITs. The original
version did a number of questionable things. For example it permanently enabled
the ROM resources! This caused lots of problems with lots of programs.

What NoQuiche did that is relevant to ResEdit is that it replaced any calls to
DrawDialog with UpdtDialog, passing the visRgn of the dialog's port as the
region to update. This causes Standard File to malfunction, but speeds up
ResEdit TMPL resource editors. This same effect could be achieved by patching
ResEdit directly. If people are interested, I can post the newer, wimpy version
of NoQuiche (now called Quiche) source to comp.sources.mac.
