    I just take the number of ticks between commands.

    master_write_8 $c_path $a 0x05
    set t1 [expr [clock microseconds]]
    master_write_32 $c_path $b $addr
    set t2 [expr [clock microseconds]]
    master_write_32 $c_path $c 0x00000000
    set t3 [expr [clock microseconds]]
    master_write_8 $c_path $d 0x0001
    set t4 [expr [clock microseconds]]
    master_write_8 $c_path $e 0x0000
    set t5 [expr [clock microseconds]]

    puts "[expr $t2-$t1]us"
    puts "[expr $t3-$t2]us"
    puts "[expr $t4-$t3]us"
    puts "[expr $t5-$t4]us"
