I don't think performance is going to be the issue here. If your client and server are on the same machine, the overhead of http will be minimal. The big advantage that outweighs performance will be the fact that webdav and deltaV are published APIs and are not bound to change. There is no such guarantee with the slide API. In fact, if you look at the source, you will find that the SLIDE apis are not explicity called out. On the performance front, Slide is very slow due to the very generic architecture. So you will do well to evaluate exactly what kind of performance you expect.
