"Total misfire count" is interesting, but per-cylinder misfire information would probably be more useful.
The PCM in your 2003 Mazda should report that, via what's known as "Mode $06".
Torque Pro should be capable of showing that data, probably somewhere under "Vehicle Testing" or "Test Results" or similar. (I don't use Torque Pro, so I cannot be any more specific.) You should be able to find a page showing something like "TID:$53 CID:$xx" where "xx" will be "01" to "06", representing your 6 cylinders. For each cylinder, it should show a maximum allowable misfire percentage and your current percentage.
If you make it that far, take a look around because there is other Mode $06 data about misfires that might help too.
For 2003 Ford / Lincoln / Mercury gasoline-engine vehicles, the gory details are in this PDF document (which I'm assuming applies to your Mazda too):
2003 MY OBD System Operation Summary for Gasoline Engines
The misfire information begins on page 8, but the top 5 entries in the table on page 11 is what I'm really aiming you at.
Hope that helps a bit....
EDIT: Clarify meaning with 'allowable'.
