I don't know of a better way.  This is the only way that I can think
of.  You are right, it does take a lot of cpu time.  It doesn't get any
better in version 2.

I submitted a requirement at GUIDE this past summer to ask for a query
which will report all the volumes used by a node.  I think it was
'recognized' by IBM (they think it is a good idea, but haven't committed
to implementing it yet.)
