Try EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) e.g:
bench=# EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) SELECT count(*) FROM pgbench_accounts
WHERE bid=1;

...shows the number of (8k unless you've changed it) pages read from
disk or cache. Now this might not be exactly what you are after - the

perfmon...no idea how to do this on windows...) and count read and write
calls.
