How much faster in general are your track 5k's vs a road 5k?

I hate 5k on the track. You run farther, and spend half your time turning in one direction. You know your splits and people can watch the race, so important 5k's and 10k's are held on tracks, that's the only reason they're "faster."
I wonder the answer to this myself. Perfectly flat course, no long stretches into the wind, no sharp corners. Since the 5K best is around 13 flat, it seems like it is a 15-20 second advantage.

You don't run farther on a track, you run shorter on a road. Silly goose.
Your penis is shorter on the road, and everywhere else too.
