Problem/Feature Details
Details: 

For realtime work in Blender, it is imperative that a triangle count be a visible way to evaluate a mesh (or whole scene). Currently in Blender, the total faces in a scene are displayed in the Info header, but it's far more useful to have information about the number of triangles.

Proposed Solution: 

The code for calculating the number of faces is already there, it just needs to take into account triangles.

I am willing to match, in terms of hours worked, any code that goes towards implementing this. I am an experienced hardsurface modeler, organic modeler, texture artist, and unwrapper. I have moderate rendering and compositing experience.
