Fastest way to get a collection of all version controlled packages in Enterprise Architect

I am trying to use a C# Script to recreate Enterprise Architects functionality get all latest. I have succeeded at scanning every package and looking if its version controlled with the following code:

Collection models = eaRepository.Models;

foreach (Package package in models) {
    resolveRecursivelyGetLatestOnPackage(package);
}

eaRepository.ScanXMIAndReconcile();

Console.WriteLine("GetLatestFinished.");

private void resolveRecursivelyGetLatestOnPackage(Package package)
{
    if (package.IsVersionControlled) {
        package.VersionControlGetLatest(false);
    }

    foreach (Package childPackage in package.Packages) {
            resolveRecursivelyGetLatestOnPackage(childPackage);
    }
}

However the EAP model I am using this on is quite big and the upper code takes a lot of time since it scans through all packages. Therefore I am trying to get all version Controlled packages by using the Select statement.

SELECT * 
FROM t_package 
WHERE IsControlled = True

Sadly I have found no way to receive a collection of packages in the automation interface of EA.

What I have tried so far:

eArepository.GetElementSet ("SELECT * FROM t_package WHERE IsControlled = True", false);

eArepository.SQLQuery ("SELECT * FROM t_package WHERE IsControlled = True");

The getElementSet does returns an empty collection, since it is no elements I am searching for.

The SQL query seems to return what I want, but in the wrong format. I don't know how to get packages out of the XML it returns. Is there a way to do this?

How do I get a collection of all version controlled Packages Fast?

You should only query the package ID's using the query and then use Repository.GetPackageByID() to get the EA.Package object.

The query then becomes

"SELECT Package_ID FROM t_package WHERE IsControlled = True"

You can use an operation similar to this operation from the Enterprise Architect Addin Framework 

/// <summary>
/// returns the elementwrappers that are identified by the Object_ID's returned by the given query
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sqlQuery">query returning the Object_ID's</param>
/// <returns>elementwrappers returned by the query</returns>
public List<ElementWrapper> getElementWrappersByQuery(string sqlQuery)
{
  // get the nodes with the name "ObjectID"
  XmlDocument xmlObjectIDs = this.SQLQuery(sqlQuery);
  XmlNodeList objectIDNodes = xmlObjectIDs.SelectNodes(formatXPath("//Object_ID"));
  List<ElementWrapper> elements = new List<ElementWrapper>();

  foreach( XmlNode objectIDNode in objectIDNodes ) 
  {
    ElementWrapper element = this.getElementWrapperByID(int.Parse(objectIDNode.InnerText));
    if (element != null)
    {
        elements.Add(element);
    }
  }
  return elements;
}
