How do I get the group members count number fast from ABAddressBook

Question

Is there a way to get the group members count from the ABAddressBook without looping through all group members?

I used ABGroupCopyArrayOfAllMembers to get the array count for all group, It is so much for the pain as for performance.

Is there another way to get this count? such as use sql sentence query the ABAddressBook directly.

thanks

                CFArrayRef members = ABGroupCopyArrayOfAllMembers(currentGroup);
                CFIndex memberCount = CFArrayGetCount(members);
