If you have created your database with release 7.6 you can get
information about table sizes and row counts via the system table FILES,
e.g.

Select * from FILES F, TABLES T where F.FILEID = T.TABLEID

This should be quite fast as the counter values are stored in the
database and you don't have to traverse the B* tree of the table itself.

If you have migrated from a release < 7.6 (either directly or by
recovering from a backup) chances are that the counter values in FILES
have not yet been initialized. In that case you're back to your original
problem or you will have to wait for the next release where the counters
in FILES will be initialized automatically in the background.

Best wishes,

Martin.
