I wonder what kind of application makes a slow count(*) on a table a show stopper.
I have been developing DB centric applications for over 20 years now and that never has been any issue.
And which DBMS are you currently using?
I don't know any transactional DBMS that will do count all the rows in a table *really* fast...
