[oopic] Quadrature Encoder

I'm using an OOPic board and have a pair of motors with quadrature encoders.
These put out a pulse rate of 624 pulses/output shaft revolution. From
looking at the OOPic documentation, that looks like a pretty high pulse rate
to be counting. I hope to return either speed or distance traveled out the
serial port. I have all the serial port code worked out, so that all I
really need is a way to turn that pulse rate into something useful. Either a
pulses per second rate would work, or a number of pulses in the last second
(leaving the division up to the receiver and not on the OOPic). I figured
somebody on here would have either a suggestion or some example code I could
use for that. This is only one piece of a larger project, and I am getting a
bit tight on memory, but not excessively so....yet.
