Prevent aldeed/meteor-tabular from showing counts at the bottom of tables

Question

I am having issues with a slow Meteor app. I have narrowed it down to mongo performance, and am using the profiler to look at slow queries. I have a bunch of queries taking over 10 seconds. They all look approximately like the output below.

I believe these queries are coming from the row count at the bottom of each datatable in meteor-tabular . The table may have tens of thousands of rows, but each page should only show tens or hundreds of rows. I don't realy need the count and would be happy to kill it if it is indeed causing these performance issues.

I found no way to disable this page count in meteor-datatables or in datatables itself. Is there a way?

{
  "op" : "command",
  "command" : {
    "count" : "myCollection",
    "query" : {
      "user_id" : "someId"
    },
    "fields" : null
  },
  "keyUpdates" : 0,
  "writeConflicts" : 0,
  "numYield" : 1180,
  "locks" : {
    "Global" : {
      "acquireCount" : {
        "r" : NumberLong(2362)
      }
    },
    "MMAPV1Journal" : {
      "acquireCount" : {
        "r" : NumberLong(2345)
      },
      "acquireWaitCount" : {
        "r" : NumberLong(3)
      },
      "timeAcquiringMicros" : {
        "r" : NumberLong(26215)
      }
    },
    "Database" : {
      "acquireCount" : {
        "r" : NumberLong(1181)
      }
    },
    "Collection" : {
      "acquireCount" : {
        "R" : NumberLong(1181)
      },
      "acquireWaitCount" : {
        "R" : NumberLong(1164)
      },
      "timeAcquiringMicros" : {
        "R" : NumberLong(12358760)
      }
    }
  },

If anyone is having this issue, I fixed it in my fork:

I also submitted a pull request to aldeed/meteor-tabular, we'll see if that gets pulled in.
