Comment:

 Given that it is in the base of a file that you can't stop from loading, I
 think a filter is going to be the best approach. Plus, the menu item is
 still accessible for administrators. Just the comment count is removed.

 This does not, however, do anything to allow you to temporarily cache the
 value or anything else. Just remove the comment count.
