There's a bit of vba code here that should help:
Show me the transition time of each slide and total running time of the show

You could visit the transition settings dialog for each page and record the time
there, or look at the show in Slide Sorter view, where you'll see the transition
time to the lower left of each slide's thumbnail.
But note that at the bottom of the page with the VBA code, there's a link to
"How to use this VBA schtuff" where it explains in simple terms how to put the
code to work.
Give that a look and a try. I'd be interested to know what, if anything, is
hard to understand about it. There's always room for improvement.
