Adding a "number of posts" field to a view of usernodes

Hi there,
I'm very new to module development and I've been asked to create a module that extends the Buddylist module using Views to create a 'Buddy Gallery'. So far so good. The trouble is, one of the fields that needs to show up for each Buddy is the number of posts they have made. I thought I could use CCK Computed Field for this but this only seems to get updated when the usernode is re-saved.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any tips at all to get me going in the right direction on this. I've spent most of the day reading through the Views API and various posts on this site about related issues (e.g. http://groups.drupal.org/node/4682) but I'm still unsure of what route to take here.
Thanks,
Katherine
