What is a good stroke count?

Everything I've read emphasizes a low stroke count, but I've yet to see a number. What is the optimal number of stroke counts for 25yd. freestyle? Does a person's height influence someone's stroke count? Gender? Strength? Fitness? Endurance? I've got my own theories, but would love to anyone else's.

    I have found a great thing for me to do is swim for at least 45 minutes straight and not allow more than 16 strokes/25 yards. If I go over I add a minute more.
