How many interrupts is too many interrupts?

Please, keep in mind that I am not a programmer. Please keep explanations as simple as possible, if you can, as that would really help me out. The fewer semicolons there are, the better off we all will be.

The folks on my team are curious if anyone has some sage advice to offer about how many encoders -- and more importantly, how many interrupts -- the current robot controller is capable of deciphering.

We have two encoders mounted to our drive train and would like to add a third to a mechanism that moves about as fast as the drive train. Are we going to blow something up?

Thanks!
