Thanks for replying,
reading trough the codex for get_comments() there's not a single word 
about the 'count' option...
I think your solution also doesn't show the total comments for 
unregistered users. I could use 'author_email' instead of 'user_id' but 
at this point I don't know how to retrieve the email associated with the 
commenter.

Also trying to use your solution it returned an array, so I suppose the 
'count' parameter doesn't work...
