Thanks Connor, that is a lot faster.  I think I will go with the idea of
just watching for any dramatic drops in DBA_FREE_SPACE.  I have everything
tied down pretty tight but if a single object on a near empty tablespace
started to grow uncontrollably I wouldn't pick it up till tablespace hit 75%
or so or the next time I review my daily reports.  This way I will get
notified a bit sooner.

dba_segments is a view on sys_dba_segs which is:

all "normal" segments
union all
all temp segs
union all
all rollback segs

the last two of which we rarely care about when it
comes to checking space etc.  You can get (some) gains
by creating your own view on just the "normal" segs
