The combo 16mm/35mm projectors do this.  What's more, they use the same
motor to drive the intermittent... you just put a different sprocket on
the shaft and flip a switch, and the computer pulls it down one 16mm frame
rather than one 35mm frame.  Want to run 3-perf 35mm instead of 4-perf?
Flip a switch and it sets the pulldown for that.  It is ingenious as hell,
reliable, and a joy to use.  No cam follower to need constant greasing and
adjustment, no intermittent leaking oil all over your shoes.

You wouldn't see much change in motion blur, what you'd see is just a 
change in the duration that each frame is shown, so there would be a change
in flicker.  To change the motion blur you'd have to make the adjustment on
the camera side.
