As in the image:
Option 2:
Hit ctrl+a to select all lines, then the bottom right indicator shows the number of selected lines and the total number of lines.
Option 2 is fast in my case. There is one downside that Option 2 does add the last line to the count if it is blank.

Word count

PS Regarding option 1:
Yes, sadly sluggish performance is the case for large files.
