Mark -
That's really reading a track's worth of sectors, not reading a track. That
incurs all the overhead of interrecord gaps, headers, and disk interleave.
Track reading generall eats that whole collection in one revolution, and
handles data deblocking internally. That's one reason why track caches make
things so fast.
