I doubt it's going to be much faster, but it's easier to type

	git shortlog -s|numsum

I *think* that should give you the same number, and it forces git to do 
more of the counting (rather than wc).

Strangely, on one repo that I test that on, I get slightly different 
numbers from that command and yours. I'm not quite sure why (I guess 
shortlog doesn't count all commits?).
