Fastest way to count big amount of files in sub directory

Hi, what happened is we want to count all the files in a directory and inside this directory got many folders and so take long time to count it. Already run for about few minutes but still not done. The command we use to count is find . -type f | wc -l

Just wondering if there is any other faster command to count total files in these many folders?

NAME
ocamldebug - the OCaml source-level replay debugger. SYNOPSIS
ocamldebug [ options ] program [ arguments ] DESCRIPTION
ocamldebug is the OCaml source-level replay debugger. Before the debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and linked with the -g option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part of the program should have been created with ocamlc -g, and they must be linked together with ocamlc -g. Compiling with -g entails no penalty on the running time of programs: object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and take longer to produce, but the executable files run at exactly the same speed as if they had been compiled without -g. OPTIONS
A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc package. -c count Set the maximum number of simultaneously live checkpoints to count. -cd dir Run the debugger program from the working directory dir, instead of the current working directory. (See also the cd command.) -emacs Tell the debugger it is executed under Emacs. (See The OCaml user's manual for information on how to run the debugger under Emacs.) -I directory Add directory to the list of directories searched for source files and compiled files. (See also the directory command.) -s socket Use socket for communicating with the debugged program. See the description of the command set socket in The OCaml user's manual for the format of socket. -version Print version string and exit. -vnum Print short version number and exit. -help or --help Display a short usage summary and exit.
