Jack mentioned that the approach is a generalization of fixed-effects

attempt to cover non-qualitative control variables.
The speed advantage you get in this case with the Frisch-Waugh approach
is linked to the additional regressors being a set of exclusive dummies.
I doubt that there is anything better than the QR approach (that we
already use) for generic control variables, but of course I may be wrong.
