Works fine for me:

./fio --name=think --size=1g --bs=4k --rw=randread --direct=1
[...]
   read : io=130244KB, bw=30114KB/s, iops=7528, runt=  4325msec

./fio --name=think --size=1g --bs=4k --rw=randread --direct=1 
--thinktime=1000
[...]
   read : io=17668KB, bw=3340.6KB/s, iops=835, runt=  5289msec

I tried your 10s as well, works too.
