Is there a way (other than find) to get this?

I don't know if there is a good way, but I have noticed that with ZFS, the number in "ls" which used to be for "blocks" actually report the number of entries in the directory (-1).

drwxr-xr-x  13 root     bin           13 Oct 28 02:58 spool

# ls -la spool | wc -l
      14

Which means you can probably add things up a little faster.
