How to verify if master and slave are in sync

I am using MySql community version 5.0.19 in a master-slave combination on Debian Linux.
Being fairly new to MySql administration, i am not sure of the best way to identify if the master and slave are in sync. I did a "show slave status" which showed Seconds_Behind_Master = 0. But when i compare the number of rows for a particular table between the master and slave, i find that the slave has far fewer rows.
Since i just started the replication process on the slave on a new server, i assume the slave is still trying to catch up. Are there any stats that will reflect how delayed the slave is when compared to the master since the "Seconds_Behind_Master" value does not seem to be reliable even though the master and slave are connected on the same LAN via a fast network.

Thanks

Ramdas
