I doubt that will work well for datasets on which people are adding/deleting
records. If we just cache the count, then we will need to do a recount every
time some one adds/deletes some records, which will halt the site for a
while. I thought it is better to update the persistent count slot when the
records are deleted/added so we won't need to do count at all (unless when
the count is inconsistent with the dataset).
