FWIW, I'd be in favour of this change, even if it was only shown to a nodes author, and only on his/her home node posts list to concerve server power.

If the information is already available in the database, then it would suggest that both values are already being accessed now to produced the composite figure we see now. Either that, or one of Mr Codds N-rules (where N increases seemingly exponentially as time->the present) is being violated by storing data derivable from other data.
