[DPRG] Handy Board and Encoders

I am working on a robot that has Pittman motors with built in encoders.  The
encoders appear to be 500 slots per revolution of the motor shaft, and the
gearbox is 5.9:1.  Is it possible for the handyboard to keep up with that
pace of pulses?  Or do I need to implement some sort of divider to reduce
the pulse count?  So far just playing with Interactive C and it's encoder
routines, it seems to loose many pulses if the motor speed is anywhere above
the speed of a crippled snail.
