>admin API perhaps?
It seems as if the admin may use the <cfcollection action="list" /> command.
I've got 64 collections on my box and this tag takes like 20 seconds to run.
It takes forever for the admin page to load.
I looked on CFLIB.org for an existing UDF and found one, but it uses the
<cfcollection action="list"> action as well--which takes way to long to run.
What I did was re-write the UDF to the code at the bottom of this message.
What this code does is attempt to use <cfsearch /> to search a collection.
If an error is thrown that has the string "does not exist" then I return
false, otherwise the function returns true.
This seems to runs much more efficiently in my tests.

<cffunction name="collectionExists" returnType="boolean" output="false"
hint="This returns a yes/no value that checks for the existence of a named
collection.">
<cfargument name="collection" type="string" required="yes">
<!---// by default return true //--->
<cfset var bExists = true />
<!---// if you can't search the collection, then assume it doesn't
exist //--->
<cftry>
<cfsearch
name="SearchItems"
collection="#arguments.collection#"
type="explicit"
criteria=""

<cfcatch type="any">
<!---// if the message contains the string "does not
exist", then the collection can't be found //--->
<cfif cfcatch.message contains "does not exist">
<cfset bExists = false />
</cfif>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<!---// returns true if search was successful and false if an error
occurred //--->
<cfreturn bExists />
</cffunction>
