count(*) will make the engine do something more than counting, so you will
have always this delay. (Look in IBPhoenix for more information about this,
spesial focus on deleted records).

If you need this info very often, may I suggest to create a table with this
info, and update this table with triggers after insert / after delete on
your big table. This will solve your speed problems.
