The only real time savings I could see is, if you already know which volumes
a filespace resides on.  In most cases you don't know all the volumes that
have data for a specific filespace, but the database does.  Unless you have
your system configure in such a way that this is easily found, delete
filespace is the safest way.  Even if you have collocation by filespace set,
there will be tapes with more than one filespace on them.
