I set up a quick vi to run and sample the output of the encoders we ended up purchasing from Sparkfun.
Adam specifically wanted to know ho well they operated in the 2000 RPM range as well as if they became warm due to the very minor resistance to rotation they have.
These encoders are rated up to 5000 RPM. We tested them at just over 2500 RPM. They ran continuously for over 20 minutes during the tests and never got warmer than room temperature.
Below is a graph of the A and B channels. The slight fluctuation is attributed to the mechanical set up used to drive the encoder. As you can see, it was a bit janky, but it worked.
