Comment:

 I suspect it was because the number wasn't convenient in the database
 queries we are making to build that page.

 Your patch has the problem of the query not being cached, of hardcoding
 the table name (I think we have this as a property on the main class for
 each Component, e.g. `bp()->activity`), and because this is not using the
 existing Activity API.

 The last point is not a strict rule,  but it's something we like. So, if
 you can't find the same total number in the activities global object
 somewhere, then you'd need to add caching around the query, and double-
 check that we don't hard-code the query name elsewhere (I might be
 remembering wrong).
