Comment (by jb510):

 I love the idea of deferred counting and caching these types of things,
 but I've never seen "core" be receptive to that sort of approach.

 Coming into this myself, fixing count_users() directly rather than adding
 an abstraction that results in inconsistent results (why do I see user
 counts on some sites and not on others?!?!) seems a better approach. It
 just may not be possible.  Even deferred a query into a 250k row table is
 going to time out for a lot of folks.
