I would make use of the already available interrupt that is fired at 50 Hz for PAL and 60 Hz for NTSC machines. If the used frequency is good enough for scanning the keyboard (you just close a switch for a fraction of a second) then it should be more than good enough for scanning a few switches that most of the time are closed much longer.
