Comment:

 Performance is one concern here, though I guess accuracy is more important
 if the performance difference is not huge.

 A simple join against the user table is probably not enough. Deleted and
 spam users should not show up in the count. Neither should non-activated
 users. We may need a different query for `is_multisite()` to handle these
 cases. Unit tests would be helpful.
