After chatting in the developer IRC i ended up creating a wiki page
for collecting what sort of data could be added to an improved
statistics page (and how such a page should be organised):

please comment
hi.
Blender currently exposes the number of vertices/edges/faces
of the current visible scene. If i want to know the number
of faces actually used for a single object (after modifiers
have been applied!), then currently i have to do this:
- move the object to an empty layer
- switch to this
Why do you want this?
The problem with API functions is, inlike the text display which is

My special usage scenario is this:

But we only need
this patch seems to do what i propose:

In object mode it shows the derived facecount and derived vertex count
of the selected objects.
In edit mode it displays the mesh facecount and the mesh vertex count .
When i change the selection in Object mode, the

information for the scene. Selection can be drawn next to it, but not

This has always bugged me. Pulling the information that I need out of that
stats header always feels slower than it should be because you have to
visually and mentally play puzzle games to figure out the information that
you are after. (Even while righting this I looked at my header and said to
So i took another round on this and here is my idea
after i have seen Sean's contribution.
What about having 3 statistic sets for Scene, Object and Mesh.
In Object mode the default is the Scene statistic.

Here are 3 images how it may look:
