I need a way that I can show my online users how many online users we have but I don't want it to harm my server performance.

I have more then 2600~ online users, 70% are guests.
just registered users sees the online users list, I want to count the online users for guests too (with out the list - just the amount), is there a clever way to do that with out loading too much on the server?

I thought about counting the online users myself (cron query) every 5-10 minutes and show the amount.

there must be a smarter way.

Thanks.
