Hi Karen and Francois,

this is true the performance might suffer. If you update to the latest 
release you'll be able to change from real time counting to batch see
[dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg

# Counts fetched in real time will perform an actual count of the
# database contents every time a page with this feature is requested,
# which will not scale.  If the below setting is to use the cache, you
# must run the following command periodically to update the count:
#
# [dspace]/bin/dsrun org.dspace.browse.ItemCounter
#
# The default is to count in real time
#
webui.strengths.cache = false


As there has been numerous enhancements/improvements/new features/bug 
fixes you should consider updating your instance anyway.

Hope that helps

Claudia Jürgen
