Sounds to good to be true, right?
Well, the message is from dpkg and it is the right number as it is talking
about ALL files installed on your system via a package, so this number only
changes if you install/remove a package. Your system is pretty lightweight
though. Mine says (in german, but that doesn't really matter):
Lese Datenbank ... 686018 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.
Completely unrelated to your initial (?) problem of synaptics being slow
at times. I bet you run synaptics as user and with an invalid/non-
existent cache. Might be 'temporary' gone with "apt-cache gencaches".
You are better of continuing in the "old" bug though and with someone
who has at least started synaptics once (which I haven't).
