There should be an option in the general preferences to show the statistics (number

Recent versions of Word do exactly this, and it's pretty handy. Implementing
this would allow LyX to lose the Tools->Statistics menu entry and corresponding
dialog, so that's a usability win in my book. I'm not a developer, but I'd suggest
filing an RFE.
If someone wants to implement this, and have it off by default, I
suppose they can do so, but I can't see the point of it. Do you really
need to know, as you type each character, how many characters there are?
