Encoder rate

What is the Jaguar's maximum encoder rate?

Would a K.O.P. encoder work well as a tachometer (only use channel A) for velocity control when driven directly from a CIM or FischerPrice motor?
Or would some sort of encoder divider (a few flip flops) be needed to reduce the input rate? (with the necessary scaling factors in place in the software to output the correct rate)
