fractional? both 1/100 and 999999/1000000 are fractions.. and what's this slowing on the straights that you're comparing to?
i'm not doing the full calculation but you can get an idea from hear :
http://myweb.lmu.edu/jmureika/track/wind/200altwind.html26'15 pace is 63.00s/lap or 31.5s for 200m
in lane 1 with +1 wind ( it doesn't work with 0 wind ?! ) at 0 altitude, corrected time is 31.568
in lane 8 with +1 wind at 0 altitude, corrected time is 31.596
difference of 0.028s for 200m or 0.056s for 1 lap or
~ 1.4s difference between running a 26'15 in lane 8 as opposed to lane 1
lane 8 is used as proxy for a straight 10k track ( it isn't, but it gives you an idea ) - extrapolating to a completely straight track is probably going to be in region of 4 - 5s for 26'15
