Especially if you didn't have the "direct seek" option.  I had a one-card program that would do for (i=0; i<100; i++) seek_cylinder(i).  That doesn't step track to track as you would expect; instead, it goes from track n to 0 to n+1, resulting in progressively wilder and slower seeks as n increases.
