Get .NCI names - is there a faster way ?

I'm trying to get a list of NCI names to the user, on a form. I am currently using GetOperations() to parse all available Ops, in all Machine Groups. This works great, especially if there are many NCI names, and few Ops; but in the cases where there are many ops, and possibly only one NCI name, the user may have to wait several minutes to tell him what he already knows - there there is only one in this file.

 

So my question is, is there a way to speed up this process? Another .Net API call, or possibly some way I hadn't even considered ?

Can each operation have its own NCI "name"?

Answer to that is "Yes".

So,you need to look at each operation in order to get all of the NCI names,even it they all use the same one.

...the user may have to wait several minutes..

Minutes? Really ? How may operations are we talking about here?
