It _does_ not work as it advertised. Help page states:
1) "delay execution of the server process"
2) "pg_sleep makes the current session's process sleep"
In reality it stops other backends too.

yes, it should not be used, if you know, but even advanced users do
not know the effect of this function. And it can be used by any user
of the server.
I just pointed attention, that this function could have bigger problem
with high values of parameter, not only very small, if you consider
problem with small value is really problem.
