Number of moves in professional games

I wonder how many moves professional games usually have?

Also do players with higher tempo openings, actually have overall fewer moves, or do they just have very long middle games.

As far as I remember there is an average around 260 moves for games that have not been resigned by one player, but I don't have any reference handy..
