What is your application doing with the analog inputs ?
If you can afford measuring their value not too often, you can switch your port configuration to all-analog only just before the ADC process (a ... |

The pins you mentioned are all used with the software, changing them would be like writing everything new.

The reason for not using 8.30 is simply that it's the version we run where I work. Company policy simply, stupid as it may sound.

I would rather suggest to use the INT0 (or INT1, INT2) input, you will have more control counting the pulses in software. (you might need some kind of debouncing anyway: like reading the port again 1 ... |

I would just insert some 'neutral zones' between the 'steps'.
0-59 valid step 1
60 - 67 neutral zone
68-123 valid step2
