If you don't care on deleted or not then reccount(). It doesn't have any performance hit on large tables, because it doesn't count, it reads the information from table's header (bytes offsett 4-7 keep how many records in file aka reccount).
Other techniques could be checking if file size is bigger than 32*(fcount()+1)+264.
