How to Display Network Post Count?

Made a couple of tweaks to brasofilo’s example as we were getting hit with memory execution issues; one of which may be related to a possible switch_to_blog memory leak that has been impacting sites doing a lot of switch_to_blog calls (we would typically run around ~1000 or so when loading this dashboard widget.) Even with memory limits of 256MB+; still getting execution errors. The fix was adding wp_cache_flush();

Crude perhaps, but cleans up the memory enough to allow it to execute. Additional changes also include some logic to avoid displaying sites with only 1 post (presumably the default) and show the total number of “active” sites with 2+ posts with the summary at the bottom of the table.

    add_action( 'wp_network_dashboard_setup', 'wpse_66963_network_dashboard_setup' );

function wpse_66963_network_dashboard_setup()
{
    wp_add_dashboard_widget(
        'wpse_66963_posts_count_widget',
        '<div id="icon-edit" class="icon32"></div><h2>Network Posts Count</h2>',
        'wpse_66963_posts_count' );
}

function wpse_66963_posts_count()
{
    global $wpdb;
    $blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare(
            "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->blogs} WHERE  spam = '0' 
            AND deleted = '0' AND archived = '0' 
            ORDER BY registered DESC, 2", ARRAY_A ) );

    $original_blog_id = get_current_blog_id();

    if ( empty( $blogs ) )
    {
        echo '<p>No blogs!</p>';
