Try this - use a delay to answer this question.
Open sonitus delay - and set it to host temp... and quarter notes. After it syncs up flip it back over to manual, and it will give you a millesecond read out. Somewhere probably between the 400 (for around 130 bpm..ish) to 1000 (for slower tempos of 60 to 70 bpm..ish)
Now - use this info to set your reverb decay times. For example - a long vocal verb at 130 bpm might be double the 400 - which is 800, where the short snare drum guitar verb might be 400. This way - using verbs will be congruent with the tempo of your track.
If you use pre-delay on your verbs, say, 30-80 ms, just shave it off the decay time. So - 60 ms of pre-delay at the 800 ms mark means set the decay for 740 ms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lmq6RDn5O8 Check out the creative use of predelay on the bass drum in this classic prince tune - the pre delay is set for an 8th note. You'll also notice 16th note predelay times on guitars, vocals, and snare in this, with shorter decay times
Hope this helps!
