I agree with ray. It's fast and no risk. I used to delete more than 4 volumes in concurrent. It makes the logical log to full and TSM server came down.

I never delete more than one at a time. If I have multiple volumes to delete, I write a shell script to delete them one at time, using delete volume xxxx discarddata=y wait=yes. I've found this is the fastest way to delete multiple volumes even if the volumes are from different storage pools.
