I'd still say that they're not inconsistances, they are what the mastering engineer intended but looking at a few random tracks I'd say an average lead in is about 250 mS making the rest of the gap the lead out and you can soon shorten that if you think it's too long.
In the olden days there would be a defined pause between tracks, seen as a countdown on a cd player but nowadays the pause is generally built into the lead out. Some early CD players had relays that muted the outputs during the pauses and too short a lead in could lead to the intro being clipped because of the time taken to unmute. I'd settle on 250mS lead in and see what feels right for the lead out.
