Dude was having a moment when he was getting to have a one-on-one with God, he's going to be a bit overwhelmed, and probably enter that sort of personal "slow mo" time when something really amazing, or really terrible, is happening.

This isn't saying that time stopped across the entire galaxy so Big E and That Guy could have a chat.

Bringing in Lexicanum here as a source:

"In addition to these already profound powers, the Emperor is capable of stopping time for undetermined lengths and guiding his servants through manipulation of his Tarot and sheer influence."

That still doesn't say the Emp can stop time across the entire galaxy. I have no doubt that, as a localized effect, it's very possible. One does not need to be the God-Emperor to do this, being a powerful psyker is enough.

But the twenty meters around your person is a far cry from the entire galaxy.

No, time stopped for Jaq Draco alone. The Emperor said "...time stops for you alone...and not in the realm of man...".
