I doubt if you're going to get any feedback on this that you'll find useful, since your approach is unconventional. But consider that, reading 60 notes per minute, you're reading at the rate of quarter notes at MM=60 (1 beat per second). Any music involving 16th notes will need to read at a rate of 240 notes per minute. But, of course, not a constant rate because most music is a mix of different note lengths (which becomes a central problem in authentic sight reading). And you get lots of other context to help actually predict what's coming next.

So I'm inclined to say that one note per second in a random series might be very frustrating because you have no predictive ability, but in itself it isn't a very fast note rate in a more authentic context.
