Thanks for the warning, but on my board this mod does not substantially increase server load or page display time (see attached screenshots) and that is probably true for some others also. While it wouldn't be hard for me to utilize a separate table and add a left join in the post query, the total overhead on my board is negligible either way, so the mod was created using separate count queries.
Something to remember is that my mods get tested on my board. It's rather off-putting to be spanked when it's not possible for me to test on your board, his board, her board. If you would have said something like, "Neat mod but would it be possible to do X instead of Y because Z happens?" I'd have been more inclined to redo the mod to help out, even though I don't need such a redo on my board.
