that very much depends how many classes you have -
I have land use map with 6 classes where it works just fine and then
another one (the official USGS land cover) that has 20+
and for that it is certainly too small. I am not sure what the
typical number of classes in cell map would be.

Maybe others who work more with the CELL maps could provide more  
insight?
