Keep an eye on performance!

To be able to group the records, Fluid will load every record itself and groups those afterwards.

If you plan to group many records just for getting something like a count, maybe it is better to fire the query directly and don't use Fluid for that.

However if the result is on a cacheable page, the issue is only relevant on the first hit.
