How to Count number of replies from a thread id?

PHP Code:

$replies = $threadinfo['replycount']; 


No, I think this will not show number of replies on my page because it is not a thread.

I am needing a query to show number of replies from 10 threads (for 10 hosting companies that I am listing on my page)

for example:

$id4895 = count_replies(4895);
$id7894 = count_replies(7894);
$id674 = count_replies(674);
$id4563 = count_replies(4563);
...

count_replies function will is a function that contained queries depends on thread id.
and on test.php I will assign these

$templater->register('id4895 ', $id4895 );
$templater->register('id7894 ', $id7894 );
$templater->register('id674 ', $id674);
....

After that I can show

{vb:raw id4895}

{vb:raw id4895}

{vb:raw id674}

on my template and they will show number of replies for each thread id.

The problem that I am caring is queries to get number of replies on each thread can make my forum or that page loads slowly or not.

Thanks
