log_checkpoints, microseconds

The following code appears within md.c:

if (seg != NULL &&
FileSync(seg->mdfd_vfd) >= 0)
{
/* Success; update statistics about sync timing */
INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(sync_end);
sync_diff = sync_end;
INSTR_TIME_SUBTRACT(sync_diff, sync_start);
elapsed = INSTR_TIME_GET_MICROSEC(sync_diff);
if (elapsed > longest)
longest = elapsed;
total_elapsed += elapsed;
processed++;
if (log_checkpoints)
elog(DEBUG1, "checkpoint sync: number=%d file=%s time=%.3f msec",
processed,
FilePathName(seg->mdfd_vfd),
(double) elapsed / 1000);

break; /* out of retry loop */
}

Did the author of this code really intend that "elapsed" microseconds
be divided by 1000 like this?
