I doubt that walking the object tree to count would take a significant amount of time, unless you have something really weird going on with your data structures. For example, I recently ran some tests on keyed archiving with a 3 level tree of slightly more than 1M objects total. Archiving with keyed archiver took >9s, unarchiving 2.6s, creating the tree 200ms and counting it 16.5ms. So counting the objects took less than 1% of the time of unarchiving, and less than 0.2% the time of archiving, in both cases the time is negligible.
