We could allow passing a function callback to the "spacing" parameter of the @periodic decorator, that would make it more flexible and would enable things like refreshing the interval values when the service re-loads the configuration file (in case of a SIGHUP). For example:

 def _sync_states():
    return CONF.sync_states_interval

 class Foo(object):

     @periodics.periodic(spacing=_sync_states)
     def sync_states(self):
         ...
