Arguments: seconds &optional ignore
When multiprocessing is enabled in the Lisp world, the standard Common Lisp function sleep is changed to be equivalent to process-sleep, which causes the current process to sleep but does not cause the entire Lisp world to suspend execution. This is usually the desired action. However, the original definition of sleep remains available as this function. Note its behavior in sleeping the given time is implementation dependent and may not be reliable under multiprocessing.
See multiprocessing.htm for general information on multiprocessing in Allegro CL.
