Why not have your app query admin/stats and cache the numDocs variable and just add it to each page you display? That way you'd only have to call the stats component once.
Well, actually, you'd have to periodically call it to catch index updates, but you'd cut down the number of queries. Although an even simpler way would be to query for *:* and cache the number of results in your app for future reference.
