IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

The "IBM i Service" or SQL View as we call it, is painfully slow when initially accessed.
This is a workable way to the data in question, but no better than and usually worse than using legacy techniques such as DSPFD to an OUTFILE. #Disappointing
This support is possible with an IBM i Service
This support has been delivered with an IBM i Service .. Use the following
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM not implement this request since a solution already exists, as Rob Berendt pointed out below.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

I reread your request. The API wasn't desired for speed, it was so that you could do something like:
SELECT system_table_schema, system_table_name, system_table_member, source_type, last_change_timestamp
FROM QSYS2.SYSPARTITIONSTAT
WHERE SYSTEM_TABLE_SCHEMA = 'ROUTINES'
AND SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME like('Q%')
ORDER BY system_table_member;
Try this.
However I get that if you have 2,000,000 partitions (barring any system limits) it may take awhile to generate that list. Cursor perhaps?
Try this:
-- category: Custom
-- description: List members (partitions) in a table
--
-- List partitions in a table
--
SELECT system_table_member
FROM QSYS2.SYSPARTITIONSTAT
WHERE SYSTEM_TABLE_SCHEMA = 'ROUTINES'
AND SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME = 'QRPGLESRC';
