Good idea - I've done so myself in the past for testing.

What do people think of exposing pg_usleep() to the user? It's
sometimes useful to have a server-side sleep function, and people
do ask about it occasionally (e.g., Don Drake today in pgsql-admin).
It's easy enough to do in PL/Perl, PL/Tcl, etc., but since the
backend already has pg_usleep(), is there any reason not to expose
it? I'd propose both sleep() and usleep() functions.
