		<description><![CDATA[A Filtered Index is a new index type introduced in SQL Server 2008. In simple terms, rather than adding a non-clustered index to the entire table, you can add an index to a filtered data set. The syntax for creating a filtered index is : CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX &#60;Index_Name&#62; ON &#60;Table Name&#62;(&#60;Column(s)&#62;) WHERE &#60;Filter Condition&#62; [...]]]></description>

Count(*) will use a table scan or Clustered index scan and so will eventually impair performance.
